Abstract
SDG 13 on climate action, Climate Change Education (CCE), has appeared to be a crucial component in addressing global environmental challenges. Despite its recognised importance, CCE remains underutilised as a strategic resource in mitigating and adapting to climate change. This study examines the factors contributing to the underutilisation of CCE in schools and universities, and explores solutions for its implementation. The methodology employs a systematic literature review approach using major academic databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, and Dimensions. Through screening of titles and abstracts, 22 relevant articles published within the last 10 years were selected. The research utilises both AI-assisted text mining techniques and human expertise for data extraction and synthesis. Quality assessment was conducted using AMSTAR (A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews) to ensure methodological rigor in evaluating complex interdisciplinary topics.
