Abstract

The increased societal attention and urgency towards combating global climate change and transitioning the position towards Low Carbon Cities (LCC) has prompted many green initiatives developed by government agencies including schools to seek solutions through promoting eco-school planning development as part of the Environmental Education (EE) awareness being emphasis in curricula. This research explores the underlying mechanism of the greening elements as one of the planning initiatives which enable the inclusion of how low carbon practice action plans can be conducted in school. The methodology adopted emphasized the ground case study at Sekolah Kebangsaan Tangok, Bachok, Kelantan to testify to the integration of theory and practice of sustainable low carbon in the school community with environmental education. Such integration draws on attention to contextual knowledge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions as one of the most important factors in the implementation and execution of greening components for a sustainable school program. The discussion of findings concentrated on the implementation of greening strategies from sustainable landscape design and framework for carbon measures from three components, which are the trajectory of low carbon target, benefits analysis matrix, and constraint analysis that can be implemented in school to track the level of CO2 emissions and sequestration. This research provides a significant contribution in creating 'commercialized' environmental knowledge to the school communities that paved the way towards transition for Low Carbon Society as the social sustainable strategy that inculcates climate change adaptation for the future generation.
