Abstract
“Climate justice” is an approach that focuses on the injustices and inequalities caused by climate change, viewing the issue as a socially constructed phenomenon. It also considers ‘climate change adaptation’ as a method of response to climate change. This study presents the content elements for climate justice education in elementary schools based on the climate justice perspective. The structure of study is as follows: First, the study selected What is Carbon Neutrality? from the Ministry of Environment's list of excellent environmental books as the research subject. Then, it extracted the climate justice-related content from the book and categorized it into causes, phenomena/impacts, and responses. Next, key concepts (greenhouse gas emissions, vulnerability, climate injustice, climate justice, differentiated responsibility) were selected based on key terms in each category. Finally, by synthesizing the content included in key concepts, the study identified specific content elements and structured the climate justice education for elementary schools into a ‘category-key concept-content element’ framework. This study aims to identify the key concepts and specific educational content that should be included in elementary school climate justice education. By establishing concrete and systematic guidelines for the practice of climate justice education in elementary schools, this study will lay the foundation for its implementation.
