Environmental issues have become a pressing global concern due to the increasingly consumptive human lifestyle. High levels of environmental literacy and responsibility are essential for reducing the rate of environmental damage, particularly among students studying Geography Education at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) who are future educators. This study analyzes students’ environmental literacy and responsibility in the UNNES Geography Education program. Employing a quantitative approach, the study assessed environmental literacy variables, including indicators of knowledge, competence, affective, behavior, and environmental responsibility variables. A sample of 168 UNNES Geography Education students from semesters 4, 6, and 8 participated in the study, selected using the proportional stratified random sampling method. Data collection methods included tests, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive percentage analysis techniques. The study findings indicate that the environmental literacy level of UNNES Geography Education students falls within the moderate category, with an average score of 50.86. Similarly, the level of environmental responsibility is categorized as moderate, with an average value of 82.04. © 2024 The authors.
