In response to the urgent demand for talent cultivation under the national "Double Carbon" strategy, this study addresses three key shortcomings in current senior high school geography teaching: the fragmented "Double Carbon" content in textbooks, overemphasis on knowledge transmission over practice, which leads to weak student initiative, and the insufficient timeliness of teaching resources. Focusing on the "Environment and Development" chapter in PEP Compulsory Volume 2, this research conducts teaching reform through innovating teaching content, improving teaching methods, and expanding teaching resources. Practice shows that students' depth of understanding and application ability of "Double Carbon" knowledge have significantly improved, effectively solving the problems of inadequate textbook integration and lack of initiative. This model provides a replicable path for implementing "Double Carbon" education in geography and has practical significance for cultivating talents possessing ecological civilization literacy in the new era.
