Project description
Growing up in a climate of uncertainty
Floods, fires, and rising temperatures are no longer future threats. For many, climate change is the first political issue they truly grasp. It is also the first that seems impossible to solve. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the KIDSONCLIMATE project explores how 13 year-olds in Belgium and France respond emotionally to the climate crisis and how those feelings shape their engagement or disengagement with politics. Interviewing teens and their parents, the project investigates how fear, frustration, or even hope influence political trust and belonging. In a time when many young people feel let down by institutions, KIDSONCLIMATE sheds light on the emotional roots of political disconnection and how we might start to rebuild it.
Objective
What does it mean to grow up learning about politics in a context marked by the climate crisis? What if your first awareness of a political issue was one that politicians seem unable to solve? KIDSONCLIMATE investigates how young teenagers’ awareness of the climate crisis, and the emotions it generates, might impact their (dis)engagement with politics at different levels (national, local, European). It uses existing quantitative data from the IEA International Civics and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) along with innovative qualitative methodologies with 13-year-olds and their parents in two countries (Belgium and France) to ask: how do the emotions generated by the climate crisis impact young teens’ support for the political system they live in and their feelings of political belonging? What are the social, political, educational, and media factors that influence these emotions? At a time when the effects of the climate crisis are ever more visible and dramatic, and many young people are turning away from institutional politics, or towards populism and the far right, we urgently need to understand how the emotions resulting from this context might impact how young people feel about their political system and their place within it.
