“…Education elevates awareness and people's concerns about having a cleaner environment and minimizing damage. Environmental education provides an opportunity to acquire skills, attitudes and knowledge essential to ecological improvement (Choudhary et al ., 2019) and environmental sustainability (Boeve-de Pauw et al ., 2015). However, the link between education and climate change needs to be clarified.…”

“…Past research has documented a range of factors influencing carbon emissions. These factors are wide and varied and include energy usage (burning of fossil fuels) in the industrial expansion (Sueyoshi et al, 2017); agricultural production and processing (United Nations Environment Programme, 2020; Pendrill et al, 2019); urbanization and population density (Weber and Sciubba, 2019;Rahman, 2020); education (Choudhary et al, 2019;O'Neill et al, 2020); international trade (World Trade Organisation, 2021) and effective governance (Fredrikisson et al, 2002;Danish et al, 2019). Earlier studies have mainly concentrated on the relationship between some of the abovementioned variables and emissions.…”

PurposeRising greenhouse gases have contributed to global warming above the pre-industrial levels with detrimental effects on world climatic patterns. Extreme weather has inflicted drastic impacts, including loss of lives and livelihoods and economic disruption. However, collective international cooperation in adopting greenhouse gas emission mitigating measures can translate into long-run beneficial effects of improving environmental quality. This study examines if international environmental cooperation among the world's top ten polluters can reduce production side emissions.Design/methodology/approachThe panel estimation procedure was applied to data from ten top polluting countries from 2000 to 2019.FindingsThe results revealed a statistically significant inverse association between a nation's commitments to international environmental treaties and carbon dioxide emissions. Other than confirming the environmental Kuznets curve effect, industrial intensification, international trade and law rule are other strong correlations of carbon dioxide emissions.Research limitations/implicationsThe main policy implication is the urgency for the leaders of the world's top ten polluters to actively cooperate in developing and implementing new production-side carbon emission measures as well as the implementation and enforcement of existing international treaties to minimize further environmental damage and let the countries in the lower ranks of carbon emissions to enjoy the long-run benefits of the decarbonized world.Originality/valueThis study makes a new contribution to the environmental research literature by unfolding how collective global cooperation on environmental challenges can help reduce environmental damage in a coherent analytical framework.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-09-2022-0598

“…Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of ecological literacy and creative thinking of students from various majors which are classified into science and non-science students. This classification is based on research [29] pointing out that students with a science background tend to care more about the environment. Therefore, this research aimed at analyzing creative thinking levels in environmental problems in terms of ecological literacy among college students from different locations and environmental conditions, and the relationship between ecological literacy and college students' creative thinking skills in overcoming environmental problems.…”

Higher education institution is one of educational institutions that serve as a place of cultural values, and norms expected to become a foundation to foster caring attitudes toward the environment. These attitudes are accordingly meant to develop ecological literacy in order to overcome environmental problems which are likely to be minimized by combining ecological literacy and creative thinking skills. A quantitative descriptive with correlational study was employed in this research. There were 275 college students from three areas in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Sumatera, and Gorontalo involved as respondents of the research. Data was collected by means of Google Forms consisting of tests and opinions. The ecological literacy was analyzed using dimensions of caring, practical competence, and knowledge while the creative thinking skills were analyzed using dimensions of fluency, originality, flexibility, and elaboration. This research is limited to students in the Department of Science and Non-Science. Findings of the research indicates that the ecological literacy level is in the medium category, whereas the creative thinking skills are good. Female students have a higher average score in ecological literacy and creative thinking skills compared to that of male students. Thus, there is a positive relationship between ecological literacy and creative thinking skills.

“…Therefore, schools as institutions are expected to be able to contribute to the implementation of environmental education for students so that it will foster awareness of the environment. The role of environmental education is perceived as one that would generate awareness and provide opportunities to gain knowledge, attitudes, and skills which are required to protect and improve the environment (Choudhary et al, 2020). For example, in Colombia, the socio-economic status, stronger student science abilities, parent characteristics, and a few school-level characteristics such as quality of education resources and school ownership seem to be decisive factors for varying levels of environmental literacy among students (Edsand & Broich, 2020).…”
