1.0 Introduction
The UNESCO approach to GCED provides learning content and outcomes,
education, and learning space in informal, formal, and non-formal learning. It allows students
to adapt to themselves and the community. In addition, it promotes shared values , such as
respect and communication. GCED is an education in which people's information, activities,
values , and communication skills can take care of their environment. Sustainable
development education is the best way to teach in this united world (social, economic, and
environmental) facing climate change, poverty, social and political challenges. It can focus
on the environment, human rights, gender equality, or the prevention of violence. GCED
helps empower citizens to face the challenges of the world. This paper seeks to illustrate how
global citizenship education has benefited society in solving environmental problems. The
GCED is a strategic area for UNESCO's educational efforts to promote peace and human
rights education. The goal is to foster values, behaviors, and attitudes among learners for
global citizenship, commitment to peace, innovation, creativity, and the human rights
responsible for sustainable development. One of the objectives of the assignment is to apply
knowledge and skills to solve environmental problems. The second objectives are to dwell
more on practice and research to provide solutions to sustainability.

2.0 Part A: Air Pollution
One of the environmental issues that I choose is air pollution. Pollution is found in
every nook and cranny of the world. Unnecessary changes in water, air, soil are called
pollution. Air pollution comes from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and
ozone, while most air pollution comes from human activities (Bhargav, 2020). Human
activities have many consequences, some of which lead to prosperity and development, while
the other side of money has negative effects.

2.1 Discussion On Issue Selected


Air pollution is defined by undesirable changes in the physical, chemical, and
biological changes of air cells that have adverse effects on humans. Gases such as nitrogen,
carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide are harmful to humans, along with certain air pollutants
such as dust, fumes, fumes, and aerosols. Air pollution is a major problem affecting countries
such as Spain, India, and China, with a high-quality index (AQI). The common occurrence of
pollution in some parts of the world, especially in India and China, is that these countries
have large populations and increase their human activities AQI (Zhan et al., 2018).
According to statistics, approximately four million premature deaths worldwide are
related to air pollution, mainly from heart disease, lung cancer, heart attack, chronic lung
disease, and respiratory infections in children From infants to adults, short- and long-term
exposure to air pollution can lead to respiratory diseases, decreased lung function, asthma,
and maternal exposure to air pollution, leading to adverse birth effects such as premature
births, premature births, and low birth weight. Choosing air pollution is because individuals
and organizations continue to engage in activities that pollute the environment leaving people
at risk of diseases, climatic changes that even cause deaths. The impacts will be more as
individuals keep on dirtying the climate making human and creature life unreasonable. Along
these lines, the issue should be routed to decide the most ideal approaches to deal with the
issue and its effect and forestall more occurrences of air contamination.

Content review
The figure describes the impacts of air pollution. At the point when human beings
continually contaminate the air, they inhale the very dirtied air that gradually harms their
body, environment, and property, which are all significant in human and creature life. The
outline presents how human lungs are influenced because of circuitous effects or air
contamination and features various mainland’s insights. This shows that this is a worldwide
issue, so everybody ought to be associated with taking care of this issue. It likewise shows
portions of the body generally influenced via air contamination, including the lungs and
heart. At long last, the "Perfect Air for Health" activity to convey necessities to keep the air
clean for better wellbeing.

3.0 Part B: Video Review

3.1 3 Dimension of GCED


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb6IfkMbYZU

Content review
The above video clarifies the significance of GCED and its principle 3 conceptual
dimension. To guarantee the all-inclusive endurance, it likewise examines the effect of 3 key
dimension perspectives on every single world individual. GCED is training that gives us
profound mindfulness as per UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that we are bound to
individuals of the worldwide local area and our concern are interconnected. In the video It
also illustrates how students can enable individuals to join and expect various callings to
shape an open minded, serene, and extensive world. It shows how GCED guides esteems for
basic liberties, non-isolation, aggregated orders, and construction the board.. There are GCED
efforts to look at the overall system and the role that humans have to play.

3.2 Air pollution


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tds3k97aAzo
Content review
The video shows the construction of air pollution (synthetic, natural, and physical)
that causes air pollution. The video clarifies that youngsters and the older are the most
helpless against air contamination, and the old are generally influenced by the respiratory
framework. Contaminations incorporate things like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead,
and sulfur dioxide. Such pollutants can cause short-and long haul medical conditions relying
upon their attributes, length, and centralization of openness. Air defilement also causes
property damage and normal debasement. Air contamination might be outside; Natural
climate including bushfires, residue, dust or inside; Human exercises like ventures, engine
vehicles, and petroleum products.

3.3 Creativity and Critically
Video Of GCED
The video delineates three key measurements, including the psychological space,
including getting the hang of, comprehension, and thinking about the neighborhood, public,
and worldwide levels, including public collaborations. It likewise clarifies the socio-
enthusiastic area, which is about sentiments with others in regards to obligations and
characteristics, thinking about solidarity, compassion, and variety. Moreover, the video
shows the field of conduct that centers around the satisfaction of individual and public
inclinations for the success of every single person and way moves willfully.
All in all, I would rate this video as 9 out of 10 because of its utilization of the SIM
content style, which assists watchers with understanding the substance as it clarifies more
about the conduct space, both individual and public needs. The video makes the watcher need
to see and adapt instead of finishing the video.

Video of Air Pollution


The Video offers an arrangement of ways to deal with thwart and lessen air tainting.
These consolidate government plans and rules, reducing releases from organizations and
undertakings, and decreasing petrol subordinates as fuel sources. The video similarly explains
the significance of air quality checking in differentiating the levels and set standards of toxic
substances perceptible all around.The video additionally features indoor air contamination
brought about by human exercises, for example, tobacco smoking, cooking, consuming
waste, pesticides, and development materials.
A portion of the actions to forestall indoor contamination in the video incorporate clean
energy, ventilation, support, and better plan. The video was incredible, and I would rate it
100%. It gives a top to the base depiction of air spoiling, its causes, and how it may, it will in
general be diminished. By survey the video, one gets all the data they need to have about air
contamination. The usage of representations and text style tones are also engaging and
attracting for anybody watching it.

4.0 Part C: Benefit And Suggestion

4.1 GCED Benefits To Society


Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is regularly characterized by the term citizenship
variety, which recognizes them GCED oversees data, capacities, occupant collaboration, and
their position at the fused neighborhood, both locally and all around. It is directly related to
the social, local area, and political activities of preparing and, in the long run, young people
and youth's work in the creating participation and occupation of tutoring in get-together the
difficulties of an associated world. There are three fundamental domains in learning GCED.
These three factors can cause various issues, including local and worldwide issues
comparably well disposed, political, money related, or regular issues. Here are three key
dimensional methodologies GCED to taking care of ecological issues can profit society:

Cognitive – it is the Knowledge and basic reasoning abilities expected to comprehend


the changing scene better. It gives the premise to for all intents and purposes any utilization
of GCED.

Human obliviousness and obliviousness about such things are a portion of the
variables that lead to ecological issues. Individuals regularly fail to remember that there is a
reaction to each activity that makes living or lifeless things. Accordingly, it permits
individuals to gain the information, basic reasoning abilities, or thinking abilities expected to
take care of ecological issues.
Socio-emotional – it is a worth, perspectives, and social abilities that help students
live calmly with others actually, intellectually, and inwardly. It gives a premise to
understanding and following up on one's feelings.

This viewpoint should be incorporated to make an individual who regards each other in
ensuring our ecological rights, like leading a natural mission. Solid bonds and associations
can be worked to give a superior future and better convenience.

6
Behavioral – it is the approaches to adequately make, keep up, and coordinate GCED
learning conditions in the homegrown and foreign relations of a quiet and stable world.

To accomplish a protected and practical climate, it is essential to make a move on


obtained information and encouraging that isn't inserted in the activity, known as the fruitless
tree.
Air contamination is a huge ecological issue that influences the world, so overseeing it
requires everybody's participation and its effect. Air defilement incorporates particles and
gases for the air that are ruinous to individuals, animals, and even property. It is a significant
reason for respiratory sicknesses, rising temperatures and environmental change (Deng et al.,
2020). Right when toxins incorporate physical, fake, and characteristic changes, it makes it
harder for animals, people, and plants to persevere. This makes the issue of air defilement an
environmental issue just as a clinical issue.
Regular and human exercises add to air contamination. At the human level, exercises
like transportation, energy creation, smoking, waste incineration, and endeavors
communicate fabricated materials that are ruinous to the climate. To decrease air pollution,
individuals need to uncover issues about their activities in those zones. Regular exercises, for
example, volcanoes and biodegradation transmit destructive gases like common nitrogen
oxides and sulfur oxides, which influence air quality .Ground ozone is outlined when
substance reactions occur in light, yet 10 to 15 percent of it is taken from the environment.
Other trademark exercises that grimy the air consolidate stormy normal combinations, savage
blasts, dust tempest, oceans, and quickly spreading fires.

7
The world has developed, and individuals everywhere on the world are commonly
conscious of mechanical progression. Hence, the world looks like a town where people can
give, perceive issues, and tackle them together. Subsequently, it is easier to handle issues than
it was a century earlier. UNESCO propels overall thoughtfulness regarding overall security
and agreement, and through its various exercises. GCED included individuals in handling
diverse worldwide issues and giving answers for guarantee an open minded, exhaustive,
serene, and secure world for us all. GCED connects with individuals to expect dynamic work
in handling and settling worldwide troubles and to end dynamic allies of a more serene, open
minded, exhaustive, and secure world (Welply, Taamouti and Bracons Font, 2019)
GCED has three essential applied estimations, including cognitive, socio-emotional,
and behavioral skills. The psychological measurement assists students with getting nearby,
public, and worldwide issues and how various nations and populaces are interconnected and
their association. It additionally revolves around making capacities for essential thinking and
examination. In the socio-passionate measurement, students create ways to deal with shared
duties and qualities, normal humankind dependent on common freedoms, and regard for
solidarity, compassion, and variety .The social estimation incorporates sorting out some way
to act effectively and carefully at the area, public and overall levels for a consistent and calm
world while at the same time making the will and inspiration to make the vital move.
Figuring out how to give answers for natural issues, for instance, air contamination,
needs motivation. They must be enlivened on the off chance that they have sufficient
information and abilities about the issue. They ought to have objectives that will assist them
with taking care of the issue in the things they do day by day (Lin et al., 2020).. In this
manner, teachers need normal preparing and ecological preparing on what the climate means
for their lives because of human exercises. (Sofia et al., 2020) article digs further into the
impacts of students' natural information on giving arrangements that advantage the world. It
considers that an enormous segment of the issues we face all throughout the planet are the
eventual outcome of moves we make without obsessing about how the environment will
respond.The motivation behind this task is to recognize how schooling can be utilized
inventively to address the difficulties we face as people around the world.

4.2 Proposed Solution To The Air Pollution Issue
Zhao et al. (2018) article contends that one of the approaches to decrease air
contamination is to empower the utilization of bicycle Countries ought to think about the
utilization of bicycle and permit cyclists to overwhelm city roads of the country. Brisk money
related headway has shown that various people are going to vehicles as their basic strategy
for transportation. Most vehicles use oil, which is destructive to the climate. This can be
administered by decreasing the usage of vehicles through vehicle free travel. Urban
communities can uphold this by making more common zones, and utilization of bicycle, and
appropriate public foundation. This doesn't suggest that it by and large happens by using
public transportation since one individual will pass on various people in their vehicle.
Another security measure for vehicles is to run on power instead of oil and diesel Electric
vehicles have zero outpourings since they have no exhaust fume. The lone territory where
there are discharges during the creation and creation of electric vehicles. Since power is a
harmless to the ecosystem power source, there are no releases like petrol and diesel. It in like
manner hinders air pollution since electric vehicles are pretty much nothing; Therefore, they
use less energy to make and move.
Mohammadi and Mohammadi (2018) article proposes that the utilization of clean
fuel is another method of lessening air contamination as it decreases indoor air
contamination). A few nations, like Indonesia, have started to address the issue of cooking-
related family air contamination by aiding a great many low-pay families convert to clean
cooking innovation. In India, an administration subsidized plan gives ladies cash to purchase
flammable gas ovens, expecting to set up 95% of the focused-on families every year. As
indicated by the Special Correspondent, the quantity of families utilizing strong fills is
declining in Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. In the US and
China, severe laws and guidelines advancing clean air improves air quality. The Special
Reporter says youngsters' lung and lung work has improved in California. Air contamination
in Shenzhen has dropped by 33% in the previous five years (Mohammadi and Mohammadi,
2018). Clean air can likewise be accomplished at the local area level through aggregate
activity. There are numerous exercises at the individual level that cause air contamination.
Individuals ought to try not to consume plastics and reuse them to keep gases from being
delivered into the air. Residents of different nations should uphold the public authority's air
contamination control measures, including restricting petroleum and diesel vehicles and
cycling foundation and public vehicle. Naturally traditionalist individuals ought to likewise
put resources into utilizing sun-oriented energy in their homes. This is significant in light of
9
the fact that regardless of whether governments execute approaches and individuals neglect to
help and carry out them, this l keep on dirtying the air, subsequently adversely affecting the
wellbeing of people and creatures.

of people and creatures.

5.0 Conclusion
The environmental problem is triggered by several natural sources chosen, and mostly
by human activities. It can hinder the destructive impact inflicted by air pollution on human
daily life. By enforcing the three main conceptual dimensions of the GCED, each individual
will contribute to a healthier future and a more sustainable world by participating in the
resolution of environmental issues.

6.0 Self-reflection
In this assignment it illustrate how does Global Citizenship Education helps the
society on the evironmental issues. The environmental issue that i selected was air pollution,I
found that if we really used global school citizenship in everyday life , we will be a good
global citizenship.I understood that environmental issue that we face right now,after done,and
how to keep it from even worse in future. I also learn how to support us in our everyday lives
by being a responsible person,I believe that in order to construct a sustainable society we all
should become a world citizen

Doing this assignment was a great experience, as I learned and applied the knowledge
and skills learned in class. It involved compiling notes and mental stimuli that helped me
remember things when reviewing notes. It started with understanding what was needed, so I
did in-depth research on GCED and air pollution, which has been my concern for a long time.
I will record the direct tracking notes I have found related to the allocation purpose. I took
note as I read the material and decoded the data. By taking notes, I could only pick what was
appropriate for the task, which improved my ability to review items.
