Most of the students have not been able to correctly understand just how serious phenomenon that the temperature rise of the last 100 years is. As a result, there is educational limitations in order to bring about a substantial change in the attitudes toward climate change. So the development program was applied to various questions and explored strategies in order to compare with past climate change data. The results described that 46 students in the experimental group had statistically significant effects on cognitive domain, critical thinking of affective domain and practical domain. In addition, as a result of the analysis of teachers' instructional perspectives and students interview, they supported the researcher's opinion that the developed program could help students improve the climate literacy.
