Communicating Climate Change Risk to Children: A Thematic Analysis of Children's Literature
Early Childhood Education Journal, v51 n2 p201-210 Feb 2023
Children are crucial to the future of climate change leadership, and even as youth, they have the ability to make a difference in achieving climate equity. Explorations of children's climate change literature is limited, despite the push from experts to involve children in climate change education and action. A thematic analysis of picturebooks books on the topic was conducted. Data were identified from online websites and accessibility was confirmed via academic and internet search engines. Findings suggest that children's books about climate change lack informational material and overlook the human consequences of the climate crisis. Implications for environmental health communication are discussed.
