The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a training program based on green teaching strategies in developing awareness of developmental dimensions in education among Arabic language teachers in the Riyadh region. To achieve this goal, a training program was developed based on green education principles, and its effectiveness was assessed. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a single-group, pre-test, and post-test measurement approach. The study included a sample of 20 Arabic language teachers from the secondary stage, selected using multi-stage cluster random sampling. An assessment tool for awareness of developmental dimensions in climate change education was used. The results indicated the effectiveness of the program in enhancing awareness of sustainable environmental development and climate change.
