Teza

Environmental education is an issue of concern for different authorities working in different domains of environmental management. Actual practices show that relevant education could start in kindergarten. This will allow educating of sustainable consumption of natural resources and goods by people of different ages and occupations, thus leading to reduction of illegal cutting of forests, soil erosion, improving waste management practices etc. Environmental education is the set of activities directed towards the formation and development of intellectual and moral (ethical) traits, people's consciousness to comply with rules and principles of conduct, caring for nature, environment, for everything living. The base is training (formal and informal) ecological (environmental) and bioethical principles [1]. Environmental issues are urgent and must be addressed by the entire community, and environmental education should be an integral part of the solution. Climate change, the consequences of which are often fatal, currently escalates. The accelerated pace of climate change and the country's agrarian orientation are conditioning scientists and climatologists to conduct the Climate Vulnerability Assessment on civil society involvement in the adaptation [2]. One of the important elements in the study was the development of agriculture. The project "Climate Forum East" held the final regional conference "Towards Climate Change Adaptation to Joint Actions in Eastern Partnership Countries" organized by the Red Cross of Belarus, Moldova team came up with a sketch of mini-advocacy, in order to artistically convey the message regarding the consequences of climate change. The presentation of the sketch consisted of the most representative crops, which convinced the participating countries, the production and quality will decline in the coming years. In this context they proposed a series of measures to adapt to climate change. Subsequently, this representative mini-skit was brought to the attention of many students in the media campaigns of civil society in the field of climate change adaptation. In the years to come, increasing temperatures and frequent manifestation of dry periods will adversely affect crops of sunflower, maize in the Republic of Moldova. What's agrarian country without these basic crops? Even tomatoes, legume species commonly cultivated in the country, suffer from these changes. For perennial crops, warming will influence favorably the broadening of cultivation to the North, especially thermophilic species such as: peach, apricot, vine. Under our leadership with direct support of high schools, students were informed about the essential need for climate change adaptation. They conducted a series of concrete measures, such as planting trees, shrubs, to stop soil erosion; renovation of surrounding localities, sources for multipurpose use; organizing and conducting public information campaigns (in the nursery, pupils were informed through games, in the school / high school – through skits, posters, contests, sanitation of difficult sectors; in rural areas, in order to inform people of any age, village meetings were conducted, where each came with his own opinion and call for awareness of climate change adaptation measures). In this vein, even after the successful implementation of the project, we continue the media campaign to adapt to climate change. Voluntary action takes place in each school, students continue sanitation. In autumn 2015 students of several schools will continue to replant with trees and shrubs the sectors planted in spring. More details to carry out project implementation Climate Forum East come in an article in „Journal of Botany”.
