Note: The table reports the estimates from OLS regressions of education on pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. Columns (1)-(2) report the results for pro-environmental attitudes, while columns (3)-(4) report the results for pro-environmental behaviors. All regressions include a constant term, cohort fixed effects, and city dummies, but their coefficients are suppressed for brevity. Robust standard errors are clustered at the cohort-city level and are reported in parentheses.

***, ** and * indicate 1%, 5% and 10% significance levels, respectively.
