Abstract

The paper questions the complexity of climate change and its relation with education. It discusses the contributions that education can bring to this problem and the challenges that she meets to transform individuals towards climate crisis equating. The reflection dialogues with area’s literature and also with theoretical contributions of critical environmental education, political ecology, complexity thought and Beck and Giddens risk sociology. Defends the argument and concludes that environmental education has a rich contribution to offer to climate challenges since it could create critical and complex educational environments able to go beyond the reductionisms that points the recent debate and the answers that insists in repeating past experiences even if they are in the roots of present crisis.
