Environmental education plays an important role in students-ecological literacy on climate change issues and is a challenge in Adiwiyata Schools. This research aims: (1) to examine the implementation of the Adiwiyata school program in addressing climate change; and (2) to analyze students-ecological literacy in Adiwiyata schools. There is a difference with previous research which focused on the effectiveness of the green school program, this research focuses on the study of ecological literacy with a case study of the Adiwiyata school. The study employs a mixed-methods approach with an exploratory sequential design. The research subjects included four senior high schools in Pati Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and then analyzed using Ridder's interactive analysis model. The findings reveal that the integration of environment-based actualization learning, including project-based learning in waste management activities, tree planting activities known as the "Green Planet Project,"school environmental cleaning activities known as the "Clean Campus Project", and river cleaning programs in surrounding areas known as the "Clean River Project", significantly enhanced students-caring aspects, practical competencies, and ecological knowledge. The Adiwiyata School Program proved effective in developing and enhancing ecological literacy to address climate change through collaborative and sustainable curricula and activities. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2025.
