The Effect of "Green Future with Midwife Hands" Climate Change Animation on Mothers' Climate Change Awareness and Behavior Climate change appears as one of the most important environmental problems of today. Many negative effects such as the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, sea level rise and the frequency of extreme weather events threaten both natural ecosystems and human life. In this context, it is of great importance for individuals to gain awareness about climate change and exhibit environmentally friendly behavior for a sustainable future. In particular, mothers and expectant mothers have the potential to create significant awareness and change by choosing products that do not harm the environment, while looking for the best for their babies. Reducing plastic use, choosing organic textile products, using biodegradable wet wipes and choosing toys made from natural materials both protect babies' health and support environmental sustainability. This awareness reinforces the environmentally friendly behavior of mothers and helps future generations grow up as more conscious individuals. The role of mothers in this regard is undeniably great for a sustainable future. While mothers making environmentally friendly choices increases the environmental awareness of not only their own families but also the wider masses, being careful when choosing carbon footprint baby products both protects the health of babies and reduces environmental impacts.
This research aims to encourage mothers and expectant mothers to make environmentally friendly and carbon footprint-reducing choices when choosing baby products by increasing the climate change awareness of mothers and expectant mothers through the "Green Future with Midwife Hands" Climate Change Animation.

BehavioralThe intervention group will watch the animation titled 'A Green Future with the Hand of a Midwife' on days 7, 21, and 30 to mothers who have just given birth, and the scale will be evaluated on three separate days in total.
Scale for Assessing Mothers' Behaviors Towards Climate Change
In order to determine the behaviors of mothers towards climate change, a scale will be prepared to evaluate the use of washable diapers, environmentally friendly diapers and disposal of waste diapers, selection of baby textile products and excess textile consumption and disposal, use and disposal of baby bottles, pacifiers and plastic products, selection of wooden toys instead of plastic toys, and the effects of microplastics on baby health.
