"Children Can Be Climate Justice Activists, Too!" It is well known that we are in a climate crisis and that the next generation will carry heavy responsibility to prevent and respond to the repercussions of decades of damaging our planet. The discussion will focus on some of the ways that climate changes have led to disproportionality and injustices and the actions that educators and families (including children) can take to make a difference in our future.
