CARE: Climate Action, Resilience, and Emotions - Gr. 6-12 LIMITED

Friday February 21, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am PST

Climate change is here, and youth are experiencing a diversity of challenging climate emotions. A 2023 study found that 78% of Canadian youth report that climate change impacts their overall mental health. Through discussion and storytelling, participants will explore the spectrum of emotional responses to the climate crisis and be equipped with resources and tools to effectively deal with potentially powerful climate emotions. "Naming and taming" our emotional response to our climate reality is a crucial, and often overlooked necessary step to effective, lasting climate action, and is key in fostering agency and resilience.

This CityHive workshop invites participants to actively map out their climate futures by engaging with local climate action stories, drawing dreams into plans, and uncovering what the pathways to action can look like. Participants will explore how government responsibilities and urban forces connect to sustainability in different ways, and how harnessing one’s own story and relationship to land and community can be the first steps to generating our climate futures.
