Abstract

This research paper explores public awareness's important role in shaping effective responses to climate change. Focusing on the relationship between informed communities and environmental action, the paper investigates how heightened awareness directly influences climate change by inspiring sustainable practices and driving demand for shared work. Also, the research underscores the transformative power of public awareness, emphasizing its capacity to empower individuals as active participants in the collective endeavor toward a resilient and sustainable future. In essence, the research aims to highlight how public awareness contributes to climate action in Afghanistan, celebrating the local initiatives that contribute to a more sustainable future while recognizing the broader implications for the global environmental movement. The methodology extends to incorporating real-life narratives and experiences in Afghanistan and southeast countries, offering a rich tapestry of insights into how awareness manifests in everyday decisions amid unique climate challenges. Also, this research not only contributes to the localized understanding of climate action in Afghanistan but provides a broader perspective on the global implications of informed choices. To ensure the research's success, various sources were used. These included books, journals, and special reports (UNFCCC, UNESCO, COP27, COP28, IPCC, and Land Portal special reports on public awareness and education). Therefore, by utilizing surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research aims to provide a clear understanding of how public awareness translates into actions in the face of climate change.
