Brief Summary

The relationship between climate change, sustainability and child health is complex and important. These three concepts are interacting factors and have significant impacts on children's health. Sustainability measures are vital to protect child health by mitigating the impacts of climate change. At the same time, children's education and awareness is an important factor that will contribute to future generations living in a sustainable world. As a society, tackling climate change and striving for a sustainable future is crucial to ensure that children live healthy and safe lives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the education program and educational videos to be applied to children in terms of environmentally sustainable behaviors and awareness of the health effects of climate change in 60-72-month-old children studying in Eskişehir Odunpazarı Municipality Day Care Center and Nurseries. In addition, in this study, it was aimed to measure the level of global climate change awareness of parents and to evaluate the relationship with children's environmentally sustainable behaviors.
