Description
Summary:This article centres on young people’s experiences of climate change education (CCE). There is much written on CCE (e.g. what it is, what it should be, how it should be taught, where it should be taught), but there is little exploring young people’s views on learning about climate and the climate crisis. This Spotlight On article considers data collected as part of 21 focus groups, which engaged more than 100 young people in Bristol (UK), Galway (Ireland), Genoa (Italy) and Tampere (Finland). The article outlines key themes that transect young people’s experiences of CCE. The authors then consider how prominent themes inform the guiding principles for future CCE according to the young people participating in the CCC-CATAPULT European project.
