    • Not even one country has not observed the impacts of climate change—every country has been observing the harmful effects of climate change in many sectors. The EU suggests that effective environmental education is essential in fighting climate change and solving environmental problems. Unless effective environmental education is provided to all segments of society, environmental issues will continue to be the most crucial problems of the 21st century.
      Module 1 resources aim to help students observe nature, discover its delicate balance, and develop a positive attitude towards preserving natural balance by recognizing the interaction between humans and nature and the roles of living and inanimate beings in this interaction. 
      Module 1 keywords: nature, living and inanimate beings, natural equilibrium/ balance
