For Our Futures: Youth Voices on Climate Justice and Education
30 youth activists from Indonesia, Nepal and Australia worked together to find out how climate change is impacting girls’ education and what changes they want to see.
The climate crisis is not gender neutral. It is impacting girls first and worst, particularly in the poorest countries which are the least responsible for climate change. In the next two years, it is predicted that more than 12.5 million girls may be prevented from completing their schooling each year, because of climate change. However, investing in girls’ education is one of the most powerful, and often overlooked, solutions to improving a country’s climate resilience.
For this youth-led climate study, 30 youth activists from Indonesia, Nepal and Australia worked together to find out how climate change is impacting girls’ education and what they want to see change as a result. Through online surveys and photos, the youth activists collected stories of girls’ experiences highlighting how climate change is impacting their education and affecting their future.
