Last summer the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pronounced a “code red for humanity" with regards to the climate crisis.
The sheer size of this issue boggles my mind. The effects will soon touch all our lives, and most of us won’t be around for the worst of it.
But our children will be. And a lot of them know it. We’re hearing more about kids who feel hopeless, frustrated, and are grieving their future. We even coined a term for it: “eco-anxiety.”
So my question is this: how do we empower kids with information, while also protecting their mental health?
Heather Short is a doctor in Earth Sciences and has been teaching adolescents for years about climate change. In this episode, we talk about how we can decarbonize climate education.

Why improving child welfare requires a moral re-think
As soon as they’re old enough, kids who grew up in the child welfare system are cut off from government support. For many of them, that means no co-signers for a lease. No help with post-secondary applications. It means hustling to get by and potentially ending up on the streets.
All our systems intersect with child welfare: social work, mental health, school, healthcare, housing. If we're serious about supporting kids beyond their time in the system, we need to fix everything.
Naomi Nichols is a Canada research chair in community partnered social justice at Trent University. In this episode, we explore how “aging out” of child welfare is symptomatic of a wider moral failing.
