This research aims to analyse and compare students’ attitudes to environmental care in Lithuania and Ukraine using the New Ecological

Paradigm (NEP) scale. The study also explores gender differences in environmental attitudes among students, and evaluates

these attitudes using the Index of Environmental Care Attitudes. The findings reveal similarities and differences between Lithuanian

and Ukrainian students, with Lithuanian students demonstrating higher ecological knowledge and a more environmentally conscious

world-view. However, Ukrainian students show positive trends in engagement with environmental education. Gender-based disparities

indicate that female students consistently exhibit stronger environmentally conscious behaviour. The study highlights the potential for

Ukrainian universities to enhance sustainability initiatives and capitalise on the growing environmental consciousness among students.

Overall, the research paves the way for targeted interventions and improvements in fostering sustainable practices in university settings.
