Environmental and Climate changes are interdisciplinary themes of high complexity,
which in recent years has been widely disseminated to society in various
media. These environmental climate changes has been validated by the
reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as well as other environmental
bodies and the results indicate a worrying future for the climate,
environment and humanity. Much of the negatives effects of these changes are
caused by human excessive activities in nature. These excesses are made to
meet the demands of consumerism contemporary , a social model that is generated
by a misinterpretation of natural resources and powered by the rational
scientific current paradigm of development. This paper proposes that reforms
in the education system can mitigate the long term, the acceleration of climate
changes and the environmental degradation. The basis of this reform are high
investments in better quality of education, with a greater focus on the dimension
environmental aiming to educate the human being, about importance of the
environment to humanity. In this sense, education can increase understanding
of the causes and effects, of acceleration of climate changes environmental ,
through many pedagogical processes and transform human activities harmful in
sustainable activities.
