Effects of Climate Change Knowledge on Adolescents’ Atti-tudes and Willingness to Participate in Carbon Neutrality Ed-ucation

Achieving carbon neutrality has become increasingly important. Therefore, it is urgent to use education to increase public understanding of carbon neutrality and facilitate low-carbon behaviors. Climate change knowledge is an effective measure to promote people’s interest and enthusiasm for specific educational projects. The present study analyzed the effects of climate change knowledge on adolescents’ attitudes and their willingness to participate in carbon neutrality education, and validated the mediating effect of environmental responsibility. The findings showed that climate change knowledge improves adolescents’ attitudes toward carbon neutrality education and that environmental responsibility plays a mediating role in this. The findings provide insightful implications for carbon neutrality-related policy making and education promotion.
