How will teachers whit these perceptions teach
climate changes?
From the data collected we can say
that probably the idea of sustainable
development hasn’t been experienced
yet as much as it should by the
teachers and so by the students.
In order to improve climate change
understanding, global warning
consciousness and sustainable actions
on everyday life we all have to play our
role on virtuous changing chain
(especially those who teach or will teach)
