Climate Justice and Children’s Health: Inspiring Youth to Advocate for Climate Action

Climate change disproportionately affects the physical and mental health of children, especially those from low-income families and communities of color. Youth have a powerful voice to advocate for climate action, but most schools do not educate students on these topics.

In this webinar, we will:

  • Explain the disparities in how climate change affects children’s health.
  • Illustrate the role health professionals can play in educating youth.
  • Describe an educational tool for youth.
  • Feature youth leaders working on climate action.
  • Share the new “Climate and Health Youth Education Toolkit.”
