Analysis of Environmental Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of School Students in District Multan, Pakistan

Abstract

Environmental issues are becoming increasingly critical, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among students. This study analyzes the environmental awareness, perceptions, and actions of school students in District Multan, Pakistan. Using a structured survey, data was collected from a representative sample of students to assess their level of environmental knowledge, their attitudes toward sustainability, and their behavioral practices regarding environmental conservation. The findings reveal significant gaps in environmental awareness and highlight the influence of educational background, socioeconomic status, and access to environmental education on students' attitudes and behaviors. The study underscores the need for enhanced environmental education programs to foster responsible ecological practices among students. These insights can guide policymakers, educators, and curriculum developers in designing effective strategies to promote environmental stewardship among young learners.
