"Every day, more children discover they are living in a climate crisis. This
makes many children feel sad, anxious, angry, powerless, confused and
frightened about what the future holds.
The climate change burden facing young people is inherently unfair. But they
have the potential to be the most powerful generation when it comes to creating
change.
Research and public debate so far has largely failed to engage with the voices
and opinions of children – instead, focusing on the views of adults. Our
research set out to change this.
We asked 1,500 children to tell us what they wanted to know about climate
change. The results show climate action, rather than the scientific cause of
the problem, is their greatest concern. It suggests climate change education in
schools must become more holistic and empowering, and children should be given
more opportunities to shape the future they will inherit."
