Citizenship Education, Climate Action, and the Struggle for Climate Justice
“In recent years, young people have been at the forefront of the fight against the climate crisis. Although our young leaders are undoubtedly heroic, it should not come as a surprise that many youths have taken on this historic responsibility. This is because young people have, generation after generation, often seen further than the adult population on social, political and environmental issues. It is also because this current generation of young people know that the entirety of their lives will be against the backdrop of increasing environmental devastation should we fail to meaningfully address the climate crisis.”
