Perubahan iklim hadir dalam ruang pendidikan melalui istilah ilmiah yang menuntut kemampuan siswa untuk mengenali, membedakan, dan menafsirkan maknanya. Penelitian ini menganalisis literasi bahasa iklim siswa sekolah menengah melalui hubungan antara pemahaman terminologi perubahan iklim, kesadaran perubahan iklim, dan sikap ekologis. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif korelasional potong lintang dengan 250 siswa SMA, SMK, dan MA. Pemahaman terminologi diukur melalui 20 soal objektif, sedangkan kesadaran iklim dan sikap ekologis masing-masing diukur melalui 16 pernyataan skala Likert. Rata-rata pemahaman terminologi mencapai 69,16% (SD=16,76), kesadaran iklim 3,70 (SD=0,70), dan sikap ekologis 3,68 (SD=0,75). Pemahaman terminologi berkorelasi positif dengan kesadaran iklim (r=0,223; p<0,001) dan sikap ekologis (r=0,213; p<0,001), sedangkan kesadaran iklim berkorelasi lebih kuat dengan sikap ekologis (r=0,630; p<0,001). Dalam regresi, pemahaman terminologi tetap memprediksi kesadaran iklim setelah paparan informasi dikendalikan, tetapi tidak lagi menjadi prediktor independen sikap ekologis ketika kesadaran iklim dan paparan informasi dimasukkan. Temuan menegaskan pentingnya pengajaran istilah iklim secara konseptual, kontekstual, dan relasional dalam pembelajaran bahasa.
