Carolyn McGrath and Kate Schapira co-authored An Educator's Guide to Climate Emotions, a project from the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.

"The human-driven processes and impacts of climate change are disrupting young people’s lives and are putting their homes, institutions, and physical and mental health at risk. While young people may not always talk about these experiences in school or act outwardly distressed, their feelings about climate change are still making their way into the classroom. What can educators do to help young people navigate these difficult emotions?"

David Case, a senior at Hunter College High School in New York City, spoke to Kate and Carolyn to hear about what they think is missing in education now, and what could be done to help schools catch up to the rapid change facing students as climate impacts escalate.
