The environmental crisis we are currently facing demands an urgent response, especially in basic education, which must contribute to protecting the planet. However, there are limitations in the integration of environmental education into the school curriculum, hindering the development of environmental competencies in students. This study aimed to analyze environmental competencies in basic education through a systematic review. The methodology was based on a systematic document review in the Scopus, SciElo, and ProQuest databases, considering publications between 2021 and 2025. The results show that environmental competencies encompass essential knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values ​​for addressing ecological challenges, and that pedagogical proposals positively impact pro-environmental behavior. The conclusion highlights the importance of environmental competencies in basic education, making it essential to train teachers and implement active pedagogical strategies to foster environmental awareness and responsibility.
