Summary/Abstract: This text results from a conference organised as part of the VF project entitled The V4 Humanities Education for the Climate, held online on 11 March 2021. In the face of the increasingly intense climate change affecting the lives of all of us, Polish glottodidactics cannot remain indifferent either. A topical issue is how to harness it for the purposes of green studies. The paper seeks an answer to this question on a local level by analysing materials intended for teaching Polish as a foreign language created for students learning it in Slovakia. The second part of the paper contains recommendations on how to expand such aids by adding further environmental content. The basis underlying the above research is primarily the Ordinance of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 26 February 2016 on examinations in Polish as a foreign language, and in terms of identifying lexical content, it is provided by Lexical competence of learners of Polish as a foreign language in light of quantitative studies. Annex 2 (Seretny, 2011).
