Abstract

The study aimed to determine the educators' perspective towards climate change. It utilized descriptive method of research to gather data from 357 educators in Batangas Province. The study used inferential and descriptive statistics for data analysis. Majority of the respondents were 21 to 40 years old, female, married with units in master's degree. They strongly agreed that education sector has great role in educating the community people with a weighted mean of 3.60. They agreed to stay tuned to local radio and television and cooperate in the advocacy on climate change with a weighted mean of 3.61 and 3.54, respectively. There is no significant difference in the educators' assessment on their responsiveness to climate change. There is a significant relationship between the respondents' perception about climate change and environmental concerns. The mitigating plan may be presented first to the concerned authority in the Department of Education for their review and suggestions.
