             abstract = "The social and human sciences have had a minor role in the studies 
                         of climate change. There remains a signifcant gap in our knowledge 
                         and understanding of the many facets of this theme. The 
                         educational sector has been neglected in the climate change 
                         scientifc debate, although it is acknowledged as a key sector. 
                         This article aims to understand how teachers are dealing with the 
                         climate change topic: what they think, learn and teach about it. 
                         It is focused on teachers at elementary schools (614 years old) in 
                         S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos, S{\~a}o Paulo State, Brazil. This 
                         type of social research is important for developing countries such 
                         as Brazil, where the sociological research on climate change is 
                         emergent. The identifcation of teachers perceptions on climate 
                         change is an important step in fnding ways to listen to and engage 
                         with them in the formulation of climate change adaptation plans, 
                         especially because they will be among the people responsible for 
                         preparing the younger generations of citizens. The survey of 
                         teachers knowledge and perception about climate change provides 
                         two main approaches: (1) It supports better planning of future 
                         school activities, training, and updating knowledge and (2) It 
                         suggests how children are being prepared to understand and deal 
                         with this contemporary problem of climate change.",
