Abstract

Environmental education is a method in which people become aware of their environment and acquire the knowledge, skills, experiences and values ​​that enable them to work - individually and collectively - to solve small potential and future problems. Environmental education enhances critical thinking skills to find effective and effective solutions and skills and teaches individuals to weigh the different implications of alternative and responsible policy. And since electronic art is shared in addressing the members and the poet, , The result was the term environmental art, a movement embraced by artists from various disciplines who draw inspiration from nature or use it as a raw material to express its beauty and encourage interest in it. The environmental art approach appeared at the end of the 1960s and does more than just depict landscapes or include the environment in its creations. It includes three main goals: 1) raising awareness of the risks facing the planet and promoting its conservation, 2) encouraging communication and engaging citizens to protect nature, , 3) motivating opinion leaders to combat global warming and its impact. Climate change and associated air and ocean pollution, global warming and deforestation are among the topics addressed in contemporary environmental art through photography, painting, sculpture and drama. Climate change is causing severe harm to nearly a billion children around the world, and these children are suffering to grow up in an increasingly dangerous world and crises that threaten their health, nutrition, education, growth, survival and future. for this reason, The study used the art of photography as a tool to raise young people's awareness of the seriousness of climate change issues such as pollution and global warming, taking into account the dimension of using fear and intimidation methods so that children are not exposed to shocks that threaten their relationships with the environment. The study concluded that it is necessary to include climate change issues in the arts curricula in order to be taught with other climate science concepts.
