Title How children are helping to make their families more eco-friendly – new research Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 20/05/22 Description The UN climate change panel IPCC has warned that 2030 is our deadline for halving global carbon emissions to prevent climate catastrophe. Such a stark threat has seen a surge in youth climate activism across the planet. Millions of young people have sprung into action, striking from school and taking to the streets or social media to galvanise action against climate injustice.
It’s clear that supporting children to care for the natural world from a young age is vital if we are to build an eco-friendly future. And a huge part of children’s environmental learning, or “socialisation”, occurs through observation and role modelling. Learning to emulate family, teachers, peers, admired celebrities or public figures – and being exposed to nature – shapes how children grow up to treat the environment.URL https://theconversation.com/how-children-are-helping-to-make-their-families-more-eco-friendly-new-research-182991 Persons Hongwei He
