Initially, it presents the global relevance of climate change and emphasizes the importance of addressing it at the local level. The general objective of this article is to discuss how the approach to climate change in Senhor do Bonfim's high school can contribute to a sustainable future. The specific objective is to demonstrate how the use of Cartography as an educational tool can increase students' awareness of local and global climate change. The article highlights the global relevance of climate change, highlighting that this is a challenge that affects the entire planet. However, it underscores the importance of addressing climate change at the local level, as local communities are also affected by extreme weather events and environmental degradation. To this end, the methodology used follows the dialectical critical line with a qualitative approach. To work on the concepts, a bibliographic survey was conducted, focusing on issues such as climate change, Cartography, and environmental preservation. The methodological procedure used was a case study of a field trip to Serra do Gado Bravo with high school students in the municipality in question, which served as the basis for the development of this work.
