Abstract

Human activities are increasingly disrupting the balance between economic development and environmental sustainability, highlighting the urgent need for effective environmental education. This study investigates how environmental education functions as a catalyst for fostering harmonious relationships between humans and the natural surroundings. We address the urgent problem of environmental degradation driven by the prioritization of business interests over ecological well-being and explore how informed human resources can mitigate these impacts. This research uses a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, which utilizes the PRISMA technique to analyze various literature sources, including books, journal articles, and reviews. Data collection focuses on publications from the Scopus database in the period April 2019 to May 2024, using keywords such as "Environment," "Catalyst," "Environmental Education," and "Human." Bibliometric analysis uses a VOSviewer catalyst to visualize interconnections and emerging trends in the field. These findings highlight the critical role of environmental education in fostering an environmentally conscious society that values sustainability. By integrating environmental knowledge into educational curricula, we can grow a generation capable of addressing ecological challenges and balancing economic and environmental priorities. This study underscores the importance of environmental education in shaping a sustainable future and offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators and stakeholders committed to promoting environmental management. The implications of these findings for policy and decision-making are significant, as they provide a robust foundation for developing effective environmental education strategies and initiatives.

Abstract

Environmental anxiety has increasingly been recognized as a significant psychological response to the global ecological crisis, particularly among adolescents within formal educational settings where climate change discourse is integrated into learning processes. As schools function as primary spaces for cognitive, emotional, and moral development, understanding how educational contexts shape students’ ecological concerns become essential. This study examines the impact of educational background on students’ environmental anxiety by comparing Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and non-Islamic schools in South Tapanuli Regency. Employing a quantitative comparative design, data were collected from 60 students (30 pesantren and 30 non-pesantren) using an adapted Environmental Anxiety Scale. The analysis covered five dimensions: fear of ecological disasters, future anxiety, ecological guilt, ecological paralysis, and denial. Findings indicate that non-pesantren students reported significantly higher anxiety levels across all dimensions (p < 0.05), while also demonstrating stronger pro-environmental behavior (p < 0.01). In contrast, pesantren students exhibited lower anxiety levels, potentially reflecting the internalization of religious values and communal support as adaptive coping mechanisms. These findings suggest that educational background significantly influences adolescents’ emotional and behavioral responses to environmental challenges. The study contributes to policy discourse by emphasizing the integration of ecological literacy with spiritual and ethical reflection to foster ecological resilience and responsible behavior among young learners.
