Abstract

The statements relating to climate change draw attention to the necessity of the distribution of knowledge relating to climate change among the population and within the education system, starting from elementary school up to higher–level institutions on different levels. Decree OGY Nr 96/2009 (XII.9.) on the National Environmental Protection Programme (hereinafter referred to as: Programme) discusses the necessary steps and tasks in a separate chapter in order to achieve the strengthening of environmentally conscious thinking and attitudes. Below I present the findings of the Programme in relation to environmental education and training, which are integrally connected to the role of climate protection education. The draft of the special policy strategy of the 4 th National Environmental Protection Programme for the period 2014–2019 was made in October 2013.
