Abstract

This article proposes a methodology for teaching a practice-oriented low-carbon development
strategy. Today, a low-carbon development strategy is crucial for climate change and environmental
sustainability. An increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases the
average temperature of the planet Earth, which leads to the destruction of natural ecosystems. The
subject of Geography plays a particularly important role in explaining this strategy to
schoolchildren. Through geographical education, students gain an understanding of the principles of
rational use of natural resources, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and sustainable
development. The article analyzes the issues of teaching Strategies for low-carbon development and
improving geographical, environmental knowledge and practical skills of students, taking into
account carbon emissions. In school geography, teaching this strategy is an important tool. Using
the methods presented in the article, it is possible to calculate the carbon footprint of each person,
family, school and understand what the carbon footprint consists of. This work will make it possible
to take the main steps in the process of transition of schoolchildren to a conscious practical
reduction of carbon emissions. Introducing low-carbon development ideas through geography will
help the younger generation adapt to climate change and actively participate in the fight against it.
