How can we build public understanding of the impacts of climate change on young children?

Watch this recent conversation on new research on how the American public thinks about this intersection, along with an emerging set of recommendations for advocates and communicators working to build awareness and action.

In this session, we heard from researchers and advocates exploring how the science of early childhood and the realities of climate change intersect—and how framing can help bridge the gap between evidence and understanding.

The conversation included:

  • Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO, FrameWorks Institute
  • Lindsey Burghardt, Chief Science Officer, Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University
  • Margot Brown, Senior Vice President of Justice and Equity, Environmental Defense Fund
  • Jaclyn Roessel, President and CEO, Grownup Navajo
