Learning interrupted

"Climate shocks are disrupting children’s education, putting their learning and their futures at risk."

"A new UNICEF analysis reveals that at least 242 million students in 85 countries or territories had their schooling disrupted by extreme climate events including heatwaves, tropical cyclones, storms, floods and droughts in 2024, exacerbating an existing learning crisis."

"Our leaders are collaborators with fossil fuel colonialists. This is the source of our communal dread. We act like colonial subjects because, in effect, that’s what we are. A child born now will experience 24 times the number of extreme climate events as a politician born in the 1960s. The IPCC’s latest report states emphatically that to spare the worst effects of climate breakdown there should be no new fossil fuel development."

Children at ‘existential risk’ from climate crisis, paediatrician says

"The climate crisis poses an “existential risk” to the health and wellbeing of all children and action to tackle it is needed immediately."

“Children exhibit high levels of concern over climate change and the mental health consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, phobias, sleep disorders, attachment disorders and substance abuse, can lead to problems with learning, behaviour, and academic performance.”

“It is wholly unjust that these vulnerable children should bear the greatest burden in terms of climate change, especially in the context of a government that is rolling back on its net zero policies.”

Intergenerational report highlights the threat of a hotter, less productive Australia due to global warming.

"At least 50% of Australia’s sandy coastline, a major drawcard for tourism, is under threat of erosion due to climate change."

This may be a shot in the dark, but I might be writing an essay about the 7th generation social discount rate concept from #theministryforthefuture by #kimstanleyrobinson and I’m looking for interesting people to interview. Any recommendations? #intergenerationaljustice #climatechange #economics #discountrate #moralphilosophy

Climate anxiety in children and young people and their beliefs about government responses to climate change: a global survey

"Climate anxiety and eco-anxiety (distress relating to the climate and ecological crises) are gaining attention worldwide as people become increasingly aware of the current and future global threats associated with our warming planet."

"Climate change has important implications for the health and futures of children and young people, yet they have little power to limit its harm, making them vulnerable to climate anxiety."

"Climate anxiety and dissatisfaction with government responses are widespread in children and young people in countries across the world and impact their daily functioning. A perceived failure by governments to respond to the climate crisis is associated with increased distress."
