THE IMPORTANCE OF RAISING AWARENESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE APV.

In the Republic of Serbia, education on environmental issues in elementary school is very scarce. Environmental protection theme is part of subject's knowledge of nature and/or society, i.e., biology, chemistry, geography, and physics. Also, awareness on the necessity of environment protection among adults should be improved. Thus, the authors of this paper proposed an educational programs on climate change for adolescents that will indirectly transfer their knowledge on their parents or guardians. The educational program will be provided among elementary school children (1-8 grade). The program will cover climate change issues with the focal point on renewable energy resources. The effect of education will be analyzed throughout the survey before and after the program. The effect will be measured both in children and parents. The result should highlight the improvement in knowledge on climate change and raising awareness on this significant issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
