Last summer the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pronounced a “code red for humanity" with regards to the climate crisis.

The sheer size of this issue boggles my mind. The effects will soon touch all our lives, and most of us won’t be around for the worst of it.

But our children will be. And a lot of them know it. We’re hearing more about kids who feel hopeless, frustrated, and are grieving their future. We even coined a term for it: “eco-anxiety.”

So my question is this: how do we empower kids with information, while also protecting their mental health?

Heather Short is a doctor in Earth Sciences and has been teaching adolescents for years about climate change. In this episode, we talk about how we can decarbonize climate education.
