Summary/Abstract: Education has a key role in building and ensuring a safe world for mankind. Today it takes on a special importance because we have moved beyond the safe space of action for humanity. Scientists are issuing a red alert for Earth. In order to avoid the worst, we have a duty to take extraordinary emergency measures. A necessary step is a radical change in education. Its overriding goal must be to shape the attitude of a young person in the sense of unity with nature, capable of caring for other nonhuman beings. In this article, I present ten tips that should be an integral part of the educational process if we want to educate a generation of people who are aware, empathetic, and able to take effective action to resolve the climate and environmental crisis.
