Abstract

The consequences of climate change affect everything from people's well-being to the businesses sustainability. Education is a means to mitigate the anthropic actions that cause climate change, whether by environmental awareness or by understanding the impacts of climate factors on social, chemical, biological, geographic processes, etc. There are some educational approaches, such as Environmental Education, Climate Change Education and Education for Sustainable Development that are concerned with addressing climate change in the teaching and learning process, but do not specify the practical tools that can be used by educators. This work then presents a survey of the practices, tools and digital technologies used in the educational environment to address the causes and effects of climate change, resulting from a systematic literature mapping.

Keywords: Climate changes, environmental education, sustainable development
