This paper estimates causal effects of additional education on pro-climate outcomes using new compulsory schooling law data across 16 European countries. It analyzes effects on pro-climate beliefs, behaviors, policy preferences, and novel data on voting for green parties—a particularly consequential outcome to combat climate change. Results show a year of education increases pro-climate beliefs, behaviors, most policy preferences, and green voting, with voting gains equivalent to a substantial 35% increase.enCC BY 3.0 IGOHUMAN CAPITALEDUCATIONCLIMATE CHANGECOMPULSORY SCHOOLINGENVIRONMENTAL CURRICULUMVOTINGCOMPULSORY EDUCATION LAWSWorking PaperWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/1813-9450-10316
