The sample consisted of (46) students selected intentionally. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate the level of knowledge and an educational strategy was designed in a second moment.

Results:

the clarity was not perceived in relation to the definition of climate change, most of them considered it important (91.30%), the little knowledge of the causes that provoke it was highlighted, about the consequences for the health, there was a predomination of the threats to safety and availability of water and food sources (52.17%) and more than 80% of those surveyed manifested that they did not know the methods to stop the problem.
