Adoption Level Of High School Students Towards Environmental Sustainability Development Practices: A Review (2016–2025)

Author(s) Mrs. Kritika Singh, Dr. Rajni Pandey
Country India
Abstract During the past decade, environmental sustainability has moved from a peripheral curricular concern to a central educational priority across secondary schooling systems worldwide. Despite the expansion of environmental education frameworks, the degree to which high school students adopt sustainable development practices in their daily behaviour remains uneven. This review synthesises empirical research published between 2016 and 2025 to examine behavioural adoption across key domains: waste management, water conservation, energy use, sustainable lifestyle choices, and structured eco-club participation. Evidence indicates that although environmental knowledge and attitudinal orientation have improved significantly, consistent behavioural internalisation is strongly mediated by institutional design, participatory pedagogy, peer norms, and socio-economic context. Meta-analytic findings confirm the positive effects of environmental education on behavioural intention; however, durable adoption requires structural reinforcement rather than exposure to awareness alone (van de Wetering et al., 2022). The review argues that sustainability education must transition from informational transmission to behavioural institutionalisation embedded within school culture.
