This article presents the results of research on the transmission of knowledge about climate change in the textbooks used in Spain's compulsory secondary education. Based on a data collection grid designed expressly for the study, content analysis was conducted of 24 textbooks from various publishers and subject areas, all present in the classroom. The results show that climate change is included in the textbooks of several subjects, primarily from the perspective of applied science in professional activities. However, deficiencies and absences were also identified: certain relevant causes, social and economic consequences, adaptation strategies, and strategies focused on alternate socioeconomic models. These limitations are unhelpful for students' understanding of the climate crisis and their related actions.
