Abstract

Although evidence pointing towards a hostile fate caused by anthropogenic climate change, unequivocally linked to our consumption habits, there is a lack of research on education regarding this issue. Therefore, we conducted a quali-quantitative bibliometric analysis in the Web of Science database. According to the parameters used, 42 publications were eligible, and through Bibliometrix R, we observed an increase in scientific production in the aforementioned topic over the last five years. Nevertheless, the need to deepen studies on this issue is reiterated, as its urgency and complexity call for the exploration of new educational solutions.
