help us to solve the climate change issue. Moreover, it let us know the tools for learning and
research about the effect and causes of this issue. What we do not know is, that every
individual activity has also one of the causes for the greenhouse gas increases, thus
preventing us from doing the activity that affect climate. Avoid activities such as open
burning, reduce water waste and electricity use and etc. We can make a right decision for

belonging to common humanity as well as developing attitudes of care and empathy for
others and the environment, learner recognize and appreciate different and multiple identities
and build values, soft skills to critically analyse, respect and social justice. This help to
instilled the above-mentioned sense in everyone. Thus, we will love our environment and
protect it from climate change. For an example, a lot of places are directly affected by this
climate change. Mostly indigenous community territories are affected. Nevertheless, they
play a main role in combating climate change (Nations, n.d.).

Thirdly, behavioural is consist of getting engaged and taking action in an issue at


local or global levels to bring out a more peaceful and sustainable world. It is our
responsibility as a child of this earth to prevent environmental issues. This makes us to
