New article: Climate change-related worry in children and young people

Research indicates that children and young people are increasingly aware of, and worried about, the effects of climate change on the environment. This concern relates not just to its immediate effects but extends to worries about the future. Given the prevalence of these concerns, it is important for practitioners to consider climate change-related worry when working with children and young people.

Our latest short article, Climate change-related worry in children and young people: What does the research evidence say? by Anagha Joshi (Australian Institute of Family Studies), includes useful information for practitioners interested in learning more about this topic. It provides a summary of how climate change-related worry is described in research, how this worry is experienced, and its mental health effects on children and young people.
