One billion children are currently living in areas at high risk of climate change,

impacting food security, disrupting education, and affecting mental health.

In this episode, Carrie Grant is joined by Teleri Jardine from World Vision and Caroline Hickman, a lecturer from the Department of Social & Policy Sciences at the University of Bath, who specialises in climate change and its impact.

Teleri sets out the current challenges in relation to climate change, including why its impact is more likely to be felt by women and girls, and how World Vision is working to support communities globally.

Caroline shares the results of studies she has been working on, revealing the effect that ‘climate anxiety’ is having on young people around the world and why there has been a breakdown in trust between the generations.

Plus, as Carrie continues her journey in Sierra Leone, we hear from Abubakarr, a young activist who explains the effects that deforestation is having on his local area, and the work being done through Youth Actions for Environmental Conservation and Climate Change, an organisation he founded to give young people a collective voice to take action on the issues that matter most to them.
