Parents and caregivers face many challenges as they strive to give children the best possible opportunities for their future health, happiness and success.
Understandably, immediate concerns often take precedence, like worrying about how children are getting along at school, or how they are using their time on social media. But parents and caregivers have always thought about longer-term factors that might impact on their children’s future. Today, climate change is one of the most certain, wide-ranging, and concerning of these issues.
Many parents and caregivers who are concerned about climate change are aware that the climate-altered world their children will live in will be very different from today’s world.
