Should we still have children in a climate crisis?

As wildfires, floods and other climate disasters become more common, a growing number of people are questioning what kind of future awaits the next generation. Some are choosing to have fewer children. Others are reconsidering parenthood altogether.

Through conversations with parents from the climate advocacy network For Our Kids and climate psychologist Britt Wray, host Amy Romer examines the bargains parents make with themselves in the face of uncertainty — that if they do enough, fight hard enough, or prepare their children enough, they might protect them from what’s to come. 

From climate awakenings and difficult family decisions to grassroots organizing and political victories, these stories reveal how parents are navigating fear, hope and responsibility in a rapidly changing world. 

Beyond Ecological Grief is a six-part series about how people live with profound loss in a changing world, and what it means to carry grief, justice, and hope forward.

With support from the Trebek Initiative.
