Environmental problems lead to the need to strengthen the population's knowledge about climate change and reduce vulnerabilities. The problem is how to contribute to community education for adaptation to climate change in the coastal settlement of Isabela de Sagua, for which actions are proposed, inducing community participatory processes in the face of the impacts of climate change. The qualitative methodological approach uses participatory and transformative action research, which deepens the knowledge of the community about the dangers associated with climate change and projects, through participatory and transformative work, actions, attitudes and behaviors to be followed as part of adaptation to climate change. The findings show insufficient knowledge of the problem that generates vulnerability to hazards, from the work carried out, the capacities and potentialities for risk reduction and adaptation to this environmental problem emerge in the community and groups of people.
