Low carbon development is an important strategic measure for the global response to climate change. As important members of society, college students should actively participate in the dual carbon reduction action. Based on the collection of 3048 questionnaires, the main research objects were college students in Shenzhen. The cognitive level of low-carbon development and low-carbon campus construction among college students was analyzed from three aspects: the concept and goals of low-carbon development, the measures taken by the school in low-carbon campus construction, and the construction of low-carbon campus education. The research conclusion is that 68.11% of college students are relatively familiar or very familiar with the concept of "dual carbon", 78.44% of college students believe that low-carbon development can simultaneously improve energy utilization efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote economic development, and protect the ecological environment. 78.28% of college students believe that individuals should pay attention to low-carbon lifestyles, participate in low-carbon technological innovation, and pay attention to and support low-carbon policies in low-carbon development, 92.39% of respondents believe that low-carbon education plays an important role in higher education. Therefore, schools should attach importance to the importance of low-carbon campus education in promoting low-carbon development and achieving the "dual carbon" goals, and propose research directions and suggestions for future low-carbon campus education.
