Abstract
This study aims to analyze the differences in how Korean and Chinese college students perceive climate crisis and to suggest strategies to elicit practical action through changes in cognitive attitudes related to addressing this issue. Results indicate that Korean students show a higher level of awareness about the severity of climate crisis, its impact, and the necessary response, compared to Chinese students. Moreover, both groups display appropriate concerns about their respective countries' climate crisis responses. Despite this, both countries were rated as 'very low' in the 2023 'Climate Change Performance Index' report, with China ranked 51st and Korea 60th. This discrepancy could be due to lack of objectively in evaluating their countries and a lack of environmental education. Therefore, to foster a change in cognitive attitudes and stimulate voluntary participation in climate crisis mitigation efforts, introduction of a climate crisis curriculum in universities is needed.
