What Children Think About Climate Change, and the Intersection of Welfare and Climate Change w/ Breadline
About this episode
The episode explores children's views on climate change and emphasizes the importance of their voices in the climate conversation.
On this show, we talk to a lot of experts. People who use big words, people who have written some book or spoken at some conference. And we also talk to local groups, people who are doing activisms, people who are heavily invested in this space, people who already know a lot. But that's not really most of Australia. I think for a lot of people, climate change is this kind of vague, bad future thing that is kind of in the back of their minds. I really wanted to get the perspective of normal people. People who are as invested in climate change as the experts and the activists, because climate change is gonna affect us all in the future. And whose opinions are just as important because feeling kind of bad, not knowing what to do, is a climate action. And it's probably the most popular climate action that everyone in the world is doing right now. The whole point of 3CR is that we present viewpoints that are underrepresented in other media, that we talk to people that don't usually have a voice, that we present opinions that other media places won't. Children are one of the groups in societies that have the least power, and their words are taken least seriously. And maybe that’s true…
