As environmental issues worldwide continue to escalate, countries seek solutions to these issues and take various initiatives. Türkiye, one of the countries taking initiatives to address environmental issues, signed the Paris Agreement in 2021. Article 12 of the Paris Agreement underscores the importance of climate change education. Turkey updated its Environmental Education Curriculum, introducing the Environmental Education and Climate Change Curriculum in 2022. Commencing as an elective course in secondary schools and Imam-Hatip secondary schools in the 2023-2024 academic year, this curriculum represents a significant step towards addressing environmental issues comprehensively. Within this context, the study aims to analyze the textbook prepared for the 2022 Environmental Education and Climate Change course, focusing on global issues and solution suggestions. Utilizing document analysis, the Environmental Education and Climate Change textbook—designated as the primary data source for the study and intended for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade levels starting from 2023— was critically examined. The data obtained from the book were subjected to the content analysis method. The textbook delineates nine distinct categories of global issues, namely: "hunger," "environmental pollution," natural disasters," "migration," "waste," "global warming and climate change," "epidemics," "war" and "water resources." Notably, "global warming and climate change" emerged as the most frequently addressed issue. At the same time "desertification" received the least attention among the global issues in the book. In addition, solution proposals related to global issues were analyzed, revealing 138 solutions in the textbook.
