Climate migration is an urgent and complex phenomenon often framed in a way that overlooks its broader social, economic, and geopolitical dimensions. Education plays a crucial role in fostering a critical understanding of these issues, yet its impact varies significantly among students. Factors such as gender, age, and educational context intersect to shape not only how frequently students engage with the topic, but also their trust in educational institutions and their interest in discussing the topic in school. This article explores students’ perceptions of their school’s approach to the topic of climate migration, focusing on how these perceptions differ across age groups and genders. Drawing on data from multiple European countries, the study sheds light on educational dynamics that either support or hinder the development of critical knowledge about climate migration, offering insights to inform more inclusive and targeted teaching approaches.

Keywords: Climate migration, student perceptions, educational inequality, intersectional dynamics, inclusive education
