Abstract
It is a necessity to develop environmental learning to solve climate change problems, in particular. One of the focuses is climate change learning at the elementary school level that requires elementary teacher candidates to understand various climate change issues. Skills needed are Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) measurable using Ichsan’s taxonomy as an innovation. Ichsan’s taxonomy consists of six thinking levels, namely identify, compare, implement, criticize problems, solve problems, and develop innovation. The study describes the HOTS of elementary teacher candidates using the HOTS of Climate Change with Ichsan’s taxonomy (HOTSCC-Ichsan). The study uses a descriptive method with a survey as the data collection technique. The study finds that the HOTS scores of the elementary teacher candidates measured using the HOTSCC-Ichsan are in a very low category (28.03). The finding indicates the need to enhance the HOTS-based learning intensively for the elementary teacher candidates. It requires learning media development to address the low HOTS. The research conclusion is that the HOTS of the elementary teacher candidates is low and needs an improvement

The research results indicate that the HOTS scores of the elementary teacher candidates measured using the HOTSCC-Ichsan were still not optimal
Summary
Climate change is a global issue that needs to be solved together. The impacts start from the change in sea level, reduced rainfall at certain times, and the shift in climate that occurs on a broader area scale. Different methods can be applied to anticipate the climate change impacts (Kauffman, et al, 2016; Mecklin, 2020; Strange, et al, 2011; Truelove & Gillis, 2018). Students are one of the important components in a society that can manage climate change issues and their impacts. The students who are elementary teacher candidates will provide education related to the environment in the future.
