Integrated, environment, education, climate, biologyAbstract
The implementation of Climate Change and Environmental Education (CCEE) each subject has been limited in education system of Vietnam. If CCEE separately in each  subjects, it cannot reflect the “overall pictureâ€, “systematic†and “extensiveness†of the environment and environmental issues. Hence, it is necessary to develop a system of integrated CCEE themes, including various disciplines’ contributions. Individual subjects are expected to play indispensable roles in the process of CCEE. Researching the theory and practice of the integrated pedagogical approach in order to compile a guide to integrate the CCEE based themes for biology teachers in secondary schools to achieve dual objectives, that are impoving the quality of teaching and learning biology and integrating the CCEE effectively.
