SSHRC IDG awarded 2024: Climate change has been termed the defining issue of our time. Young people stand to face disproportionate effects of climate change, with those who face additional marginalization at risk for greatest harms, yet we continue to fall behind targets to address the crisis. In particular, there has been an increase in research on the psychological impacts of climate change, and a call for enhanced response to mental health in the face of the climate crisis. Climate change also has major implications for young people’s access to decent work, which is strongly linked to good mental health. Using participatory action research methods, this project will explore how youth experience and sustain hope in the face of the climate crisis, and the implications for future life planning, including ways youth can mobilize work–individually and collectively–to address the climate crisis. The project will result in the development of resources for educators and youth that address current realities of the climate crisis, barriers to decent work, and the potential for individual work to contribute to positive social change in the areas of climate justice, equity, and sustainability.
