ROBREDO, Beatriz  e  LADRERA, Rubén. Prepared for Environmental Action After Elementary School?. RMIE [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.87, pp.933-955.  Epub 19-Fev-2021. ISSN 1405-6666.

The current climate scenario needs students to play an active role, which in turn requires them to be environmentally literate. Our general objective has been to determine students' knowledge and actions related to the climate crisis, its causes, and its consequences, upon completion of their elementary education. A survey was completed by 104 students in four schools of La Rioja (Spain). The results underline that students experience difficulties in describing climate change and identifying its causes and consequences, confuse climate change with other environmental problems, and pay little attention to local aspects, in particular the social component. They also show limited commitment to the current climate situation and insufficient participation in actions against climate change in their daily life.
