At the intersection of youth, emotions, and climate change. Take inspired action for climate change.
What if this pandemic is a rehearsal for the instability of a climate crisis?
Perhaps better than ever, today we see that the health of humans and the health of the planet are inexorably linked. For decades, climate scientists have warned of something like COVID-19, and clearly, we were not prepared. What will it take to build resilience for the future?
Young people are at the forefront of leadership on climate.
They’ve advocated for the world to prioritize our collective survival. And while attitudes are changing, these young leaders are paying a significant emotional price for standing out.
Climate anxiety is one of the top factors young people report as impacting wellbeing.
The typical adult responses of “don’t worry” or pushing science education are well-intentioned but don’t address either the underlying emotional needs nor the demands of the climate crisis.
On April 21, 2020, experts on climate, youth activists, and emotional intelligence will share insights on the intersection of Youth, Climate and Emotions in a free online summit.
CLIMATE OF EMOTIONS is a free online conference live streaming to YouTube to engage youth and adults in a forthright conversation about feelings, the skills needed at this moment and a platform to co-create action steps.
We will consider…
- What effect will COVID-19 have on climate advocacy, particularly for children & young adults?
- What will it take to galvanize a future-focused direction for climate in the economic recovery- and what role will young people play in that conversation?
- What strengths can young people grow to be resilient ? How can all of us support them?
Produced partnership with the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Network, the Khalifa Ihler Institute for Peaceful & Thriving Communities, Climate Resilient, National Children’s Campaign, Global Co Lab Network, CharityBomb and more. The program will culminate in development of the GREEN 13 POP-UP Festival, in partnership with UNICEF World Children’s Day.
