Every year, the country faces cyclones and floods causing many climate refugees especially in the costal city Khulna. This highlights it as one of the most vulnerable countries for climate crisis.

The essay will start with describing why climate change education in PSE is important and suggest a few curriculum strategies for the undergraduate students that can be incorporated in the pedagogical sectors of the country, especially to the mention city.
