Abstract
The goal of this paper corresponds to a small theory on the discovery of the incorporation of climate action to go deeper regarding educational treatment. There is no search to raise awareness in the social community for educational inclusion on current environmental problems such as pollution, loss of biodiversity, and climate change, among others. Social inclusion on ecology and the new treatment of sustainability through practice that allows us to assume and strengthen the greatest responsibility for the environment, this is, notable and conscious, of course, the transversal programs within the environmental matter together with the inclusive school. This educational operation seeks to strengthen the practice of values that allow us to assume the greatest responsibility of caring for the environment in a notable and conscious way, of course, the transversal programs within the environmental field along with the participation of students with cultural-functional diversity. It is possible to debate the use of a modernized model for inclusive ecology to improve the structuring of the educational strategy, depending on the teaching and learning process of the inclusive school.
