Description
For at least three decades, young people (younger than 30 years of age for the purposes of this work) have sought to intervene in adult-dominated policy and lawmaking processes around the issue of climate change. Within the last 15 years, young people have formed large-scale, transnational protest movements, launched climate change lawsuits, and disrupted formal (climate) governance processes at many scales and in many sites.
