Abstract Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, affecting nature, people, and the way we live. For teacher education in places like West Tripura, India, it is important to prepare future teachers who understand both the science and the human side of this issue. This paper looks at how environmental and geographical ideas can be brought together in teacher education to build better awareness and action on climate change. It reviews studies, books, and reports published between 2015 and 2025 to understand how this topic has grown in the last decade. The geographical view helps teachers understand how climate change affects different places and communities, while the environmental view focuses on nature, sustainability, and caring for the planet. When these two views are combined, they offer a complete and practical way to teach about climate change. The paper highlights the importance of local examples, hands-on learning, and sustainability education in teacher training. It also points out the need for stronger connections between ideas, classroom practice, and policy. Overall, this study suggests that integrating environmental and geographical thinking into teacher education in West Tripura can help teachers guide their students to become more aware, responsible, and caring citizens of the world.
