Art and Sustainability: The Role of Art in Climate Change Education

Abstract

This study explores the potential of arts-based education to enhance environmental literacy and promote sustainable living among students. By integrating arts and environmental education, we can develop a deeper understanding of the human-nature relationship and encourage students to adopt environmentally conscious behaviors. The study examines the role of arts in fostering empathy, creativity, and critical thinking skills, which are essential for addressing the complex environmental challenges we face today. The findings suggest that arts-based education can be a powerful tool in promoting environmental awareness, encouraging community engagement, and inspiring students to take action towards a more sustainable future.
