Student perspectives on climate change and sustainability education in England: experiences and expectations.
Article in UCL open. Environment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper presents findings from a large-scale survey of 2429 students in Years 7-9 (ages 11-14) in England, exploring their experiences and expectations of climate change and sustainability education. The study reveals that while most students learn about climate change and sustainability in school, primarily through geography and science lessons, there is a desire for a more comprehensive and engaging approach. Students express a strong interest in learning about the future impacts of climate change, practical solutions and global perspectives. They emphasise the importance of outdoor learning, hands-on activities and opportunities for meaningful participation in school and community initiatives. The findings highlight the need for climate change and sustainability education to be embedded across the school curriculum, to provide opportunities for outdoor learning, and to nurture student agency. Explored within a framework of children's rights to education and wellbeing and respective inequalities, this research provides valuable insights for stakeholders seeking to improve climate change and sustainability education and empower young people to address the climate and environmental crisis.
