Climate solutions. Our youth, their future (Stage 3, Stage 4)
Understand the science, understand the urgency, understand it is our youths’ future.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
As part of the Powerhouses 100 Climate Conversations weekly podcast, selected innovators have presented simple positive messages to schools about what can be done to save our planet.
In this episode meet Dr Rebecca Huntley, a social researcher and climate activist who studies why we think the way we do about climate change for corporate Australia. Knowing that 25% of Australia’s youth are alarmed by climate change while deniers make up around 1%, she provides strategies that children can employ to engage, enlighten and modify thinking all the way to the corporate boardroom.
This is an edited recording of an interview on Friday 17 June 2022 from the Powerhouse.
