Human behavior that impacts climate change is increasingly difficult to control. This raises serious concerns about the survival of future generations. The weak climate action skills of prospective science teachers and their daily activities that have the potential to contribute to climate change need to be addressed. This study aims to integrate community outreach into the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) so that prospective science teachers can develop skills in preventing climate change. An embedded mixed-methods quasi-experimental design was used to guide the development and evaluation of the model. Community outreach is integrated into the three dimensions of the NGSS to develop the climate action skills of prospective science teachers by learning from community habits related to climate change prevention practices. The study results showed that prospective science teachers became increasingly skilled in preventing climate change through planting trees and sorting organic and inorganic waste to project their economic potential. Integrating community outreach into the three dimensions of the NGSS is a new strategy to prepare prospective teachers who are aware of their role as agents of sustainable climate change prevention.
