According to the Intergovernmental Panel on climate Change (2009) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. Who received Nobel Peace Prize in the year 2007 "Resolving environmental issues do not so much involve the need for novel technologies and new legislations as an entire change of collective consciousness. this implies a major transformation in the order of the global society . Lack of and insufficient of education violence wars and conflicts leading to disruption of value systems, migration unequal access to goods and lack of governance are considered to be among the primary contributing factors for the degradation of the environment and the slow progress of international peace. The degradation of environmental resources mirrors the totality of mental , physical , economical, cultural, aesthetic and social circumstances and factors which surround and affect the quality of people's 'lives' . Thus , all efforts towards spreading awareness regarding the climatic change should be taken in totality bringing about qualitative behavior change mentioned in present paper. Such initiative may begin with introducing needful changes in Educational policies , programs and curricula which would further provide impetus for the identification of climate change education tools, materials and good practices. In addition to that the mobilization and engagement of networks and partnerships in support of climatic change education would be seriously needed to make it a national and global movement. In nutshell a holistic societal participation will serve the purpose of minimizing climatic change in which education has to provide leadership for nurturing and propagating environmental friendly behavior among the present and future citizens of the country and the globe.
