Mitigando as mudanças climáticas globais: estratégia para preservação ambiental

Abstract

Global Climate Change (GCC) represents transformations in the Earth's climate patterns, intensified in recent centuries by human actions, such as the use of fossil fuels, deforestation and pollution. These factors increase the concentration of greenhouse gases, worsening global warming and resulting in phenomena such as droughts, floods and changes in rainfall. The consequences affect vulnerable populations more severely, increasing social and environmental inequalities. In the Amazon, deforestation not only threatens biodiversity, but also contributes to the rise in global temperatures, putting the planet's environmental balance at risk. In this context, Environmental Education emerges as an essential tool to face these challenges, and the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) enhances this process. Aligned with the PBL methodology, the construction of educational prototypes that simulate environmental scenarios emerges as a resource that enhances learning. This approach develops creativity, stimulates individual and collective learning, and deepens knowledge through visual and cognitive activities, facilitating a better understanding of the topic. The use of prototypes, combined with the PBL methodology, encourages student leadership, allowing students to explore practical solutions to minimize the impacts of GCMs. In this way, students not only deepen their scientific knowledge, but also exercise creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. This booklet seeks to provide young people with an active and reflective learning experience, connecting theory and practice. Through the development of prototypes and the analysis of real problems, the goal is to stimulate environmental awareness and empower students to act in a transformative way towards a more sustainable future.
