Currently, we discuss a lot in the media about the Global Climate Change (GCCs),
especially in the context of rising global temperature, the emission of harmful gases to
the environment and water scarcity, emphasizing the interference of man the these
changes. Although the weather suffered changes over the Earth's history, in all time
scales, it is clear that the current change presents some different aspects. Climate
change in the past were the result of natural phenomena; in turn, the greater part of
the current climate change is attributable to human activity particularly over the last 50
years. The problem that gave rise to this work is linked to the importance of the
Amazon, which is widely regarded in the context of GCGs, as well as the lack of
teaching and learning strategies around this theme. Therefore, this study has the
general objective to develop an educational strategy for the teaching and learning
process on the GCCs theme, using the potential of Amazonian regional natural
resources. The methodology used was action research, developed with 40 students of
Degree Biological Sciences (DBS) from the IFAM and 5 teachers who work in related
disciplines the research topic. From the survey results, we realize how much is
emerging discuss with the academic society on the GCCs, because the impacts
suffered by these changes reflect the society as a whole, and often we do not realize
that we are responsible for contributing to the changes that our planet has suffered,
and are necessary, in addition to behavioral changes, policy interventions committed
to the society for the solution of environmental problems. So much students and
teachers point out the relevance of the discussion of the knowledge of the GCCs, given
the impact that involves the subject and its relation to the Amazon region in terms of
conservation and preservation of natural resources to maintain and balance of life on
Earth. The use of non-formal spaces (NFS) allowed arouse students' environmental
awareness on the conservation and sustainable use of Amazonian ecosystems
because of the potential they present to store carbon and contribution in the
hydrological cycle. Didactic scripts for teaching about GCCs are important tools for the
development of a satisfactory teaching-learning process in order to promote effective
science education contextualized to the regional and global reality. The development
of educational tools, has proved effective in driving to achieve the proposed objective,
encouraging other teachers to use new educational strategies.
