With the development of the economy, the construction of ecological civilization has become a new focus for people. As an important venue for cultivating students' ideological and moral qualities, college ideological and political courses should keep pace with the times, and integrating ecological civilization construction into these courses holds profound significance. Some college students lack a comprehensive understanding of ecological civilization construction, and their awareness of it is very weak. Their cognition of ecological civilization construction is still in a passive state of acceptance. It is crucial to make students deeply recognize the relationship between humans and nature, understand their responsibilities and roles in ecological civilization construction, and establish values of sustainable development. Ideological and political courses should guide college students to start from their daily lives and themselves, cultivate correct consumption concepts and behaviors, and practice green lifestyles.
