Debates about the climate crisis too often happen without those who will confront and bear its worst impacts in the future - children and youth. This presentation introduces a global, youth-led initiative that foregrounds youth voices and visions of climate futures, specifically focusing on how children and youth understand, define, and envision mainstreaming climate literacy in formal and non-formal education contexts. It starts with the premise that education is directly implicated in the climate crisis and our failure to imagine alternatives. But it can also be a catalyst for radical change.
