 This study investigates the role of formal education in promoting pro-environmental behavior in the Philippines and identifies three potential mechanisms underlying this relationship, increased awareness about climate change, risk perceptions, and knowledge about climate risks. Using propensity score methods, the study finds that an additional year of schooling significantly increases the probability of engaging in pro-environmental actions such as planting trees, recycling, and proper waste management by 3.3%. The findings suggest that education influences behavior mainly by increasing awareness about anthropogenic causes of climate change, which may affect self-efficacy in reducing human impacts on the environment. Knowledge and perceptions about climate risks also contribute to the education effect on pro-environmental behavior, although to a lesser extent.
