This systematic review article focuses on the elements of climate change that have been used to create climate change awareness and hence inculcate sustainable literacy among secondary school students as well as actions that have been undertaken to nourish students’ global competencies on climate change. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was adapted for the review of the current research, which utilized two main databases, namely, Scopus and Web of Science. 

The findings indicate that 35 articles were successfully selected, and were subsequently critically and systematically analyzed. The review has successfully formulated three main themes that were commonly used to create climate change awareness among school children: effects of climate change, factors affecting climate change, and mitigation plans in handling climate change issues. 

The review has also revealed four major themes and actions that have been used as platforms towards instilling global competencies towards climate actions; indeed, the findings of this systematic review will provide meaningful information, especially to educators as well as decision-makers in developing more effective, efficient, and sustainable strategies that will shape future globally competent citizens in mitigating and adapting climate change issues and problems.

This section explains the method used to analyse the suitable articles related to climate change and the global competence of secondary school students. There are four main sub-sections, namely Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA); the resources used in this study; the systematic review process utilised to select the articles including identification, screening, and eligibility; as well as the processes of data abstraction and analysis which led to the findings of the current research.
