Abstract: This systematic review article focuses on the elements of climate change that have been used to create climate change awareness and hence inculcate sustainable literacy among secondary school students as well as actions that have been undertaken to nourish students’ global competencies on climate change. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was adapted for the review of the current research, which utilised two main databases, namely, Scopus and Web of Science. The findings indicate that 35 articles were successfully selected, and were subsequently critically and systematically analysed. The review has successfully formulated three main themes that were commonly used to create climate change awareness among schoolchildren: effects of climate change, factors affecting climate change, and mitigation plans in handling climate change issues. The review has also revealed four major themes and actions that have been used as platforms towards instilling global competencies towards climate actions; indeed, the findings of this systematic review will provide meaningful information, especially to educators as well as decision-makers in developing more effective, efficient, and sustainable strategies that will shape future globally competent citizens in mitigating and adapting climate change issues and problems.
