Summary/Abstract: Climate change is one of the most widely debated topics today, both at the international and national levels. This is due to the threat that climate change poses to human society. As a result, this study aims to analyze the amount of public knowledge of climate change news in selected countries. Furthermore, data for this study were gathered from secondary sources such as textbooks, journals, and online sources, and the data were analyzed using content analysis. This study found that a substantial number of nations studied throughout the world scored below 50% of their citizens' knowledge of climate change news, while a few countries scored slightly above 50% of their citizens' awareness of climate change news. In conclusion, this study recommends, among other things, that states should follow up their political statements with political actions to raise citizens' awareness of climate change, which will contribute to reducing the environmental repercussions of climate change.
