Environmental behavior in college students is essential to understand how young people interact with their environment and develop sustainable habits. The objective was to analyze the status of original scientific articles on environmental behavior of college students between 2019 to June 2024. The methodology employed consisted of an analysis of recent and relevant studies on the topic in the Scopus, Wos, Scielo, MDPI, SpringerLink, and Wiley Online Library databases, using a scoping review to examine the volume of publications and topics covered. Articles addressing institutional policies, integration of sustainability into the academic curriculum, and individual student perceptions were analyzed. Among the results of the study, a significant increase in the number of recent publications on students' environmental behavior stands out, indicating a growing interest in the topic. It is observed that universities with effective sustainability policies tend to have students more committed to environmental practices, since such policies influence students' perception of the importance of sustainability. In addition, the inclusion of environmental issues in the academic curriculum is crucial to develop greater awareness and engagement among students. The study concludes that, in order to foster positive environmental behavior, it is essential for educational institutions to integrate sustainable policies, an inclusive curriculum, and a culture that values sustainability.
