The effect of school science education on students’ climate literacy: a three-level meta-analysis

Our research indicates that school science education is an effective pathway for enhancing students' climate literacy, though the impact varies across different science disciplines. However, given the considerable heterogeneity among the included studies and the limited number of studies and effect sizes in some groups, these findings should be interpreted with caution.
