Every day, more children discover they are living in a climate crisis. This makes many children feel sad, anxious, angry, powerless, confused and frightened about what the future holds.

'How long before climate change will destroy the Earth?': Research reveals what Australian kids want to knowThe climate change burden facing young people is inherently unfair. But they have the potential to be the most powerful generation when it comes to creating change.We asked 1,500 children to tell us what they wanted to know about climate change. The results show climate action, rather than the scientific cause of the problem, is their greatest concern.

Some 20% of questions suggested action by specific sectors of the economy. This included stopping using fossil fuels and moving to renewable energy or nuclear power. Some suggested action related to food, agriculture or fisheries.In 27% of questions, students raised existential concerns about climate change. This reveals the urgency and frustration many children feel.

Teachers should also be trained to understand climate challenges themselves, and to identify and support students suffering from climate distress.
