Abstract
Environmental literacy plays a crucial role in shaping the attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors of individuals towards environmental issues, including pollution. This study aims to assess the environmental literacy levels among students of UMPC Senior High School (SHS) and examine its relationship with their awareness and understanding of environmental pollution. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey questionnaire administered to a representative sample of UMPC SHS students. The questionnaire assesses various dimensions of environmental literacy, including knowledge of ecological concepts, understanding of environmental challenges, and the willingness to take environmentally responsible actions. Additionally, it explores students' perception of environmental pollution, its causes, and potential mitigation strategies. This study highlights the importance of enhancing environmental literacy levels among UMPC SHS students to promote sustainable practices and address environmental challenges, particularly pollution. The findings can guide educational institutions in designing effective environmental education programs that foster knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors conducive to environmental stewardship. Additionally, the results can inform policymakers and curriculum developers in integrating comprehensive environmental education into the formal education system to empower the youth in tackling environmental issues
