Climate modifications are more and more visible nowadays. Many specialists consider human activities one of the most probable sources of this situation. Other aspects to consider are the magnitude and period in which these will produce effects. It is important to create educational premises for the young generation to limit, if not eliminate, all the possible harmful actions on the environment. The aim of the study was established considering these aspects. It is useful to determine the youth's knowledge regarding climate change and global warming. The data was analyzed after applying a survey preponderantly among new-generation representatives. The current material has a transitional status. It has the main purpose of determining further actions. There were targeted levels of familiarization with the basic information concerning global change's source and the impact on daily human activity. There were also discussed aspects regarding the sources of information and what personal actions are willing to do to reduce their environmental impact. For the study implementation, were considered both young and mature respondents. The motivation derived from the desire to determine the possibilities for the new generation to be educated from early stages with an ecological view by the family members. Many respondents prefer the internet as a source of information. The organisms with a role in education and formation must consider that finding. This way ensures that all valuable sources are also presented in this media.
