Abstract

Climate changes bring about a lot of impacts to people all at over the world. However, the
impacts of climate change will be even worse if it occurs and is felt by the poor who are in
nature vulnerable to various disasters such as flood, drought, landslide etc. This article aims at
exploring students' ecological intelligence and critical awareness on the impacts of climate
change towards socio-economic aspects of the poor communities. This study is under the
research paradigm of descriptive-qualitative, which aims at systematically describing facts and
characteristics of the studied subjects objectively. The data was collected in-depth interview
method and organized using the inductive reasoning principles, which then generated an
organized theory on the basis of such assumptions, which finally placed as a reliable
hypothesis to be examined. The discussion over climate change is traceable from the ecological
competence that argues climate change remains a controversial issue and is urgently
addressed, for it affects the survival of human life on earth. In this study, it is argued that the
climate change may not merely caused by natural factors, but humans’ life activities as well.
Therefore, the ecological competence is highly needed to examine the occuring climate
changes, especially within the socio-economic life of the poor
