19. How best to educate children about
climate change? Doomsday scenarios can
frighten children, fueling helplessness and
hopelessness.
In a 2007 study of Australian 10-14 year
olds, 27% believed that the world might
end in their lifetimes due to climate
change.

21. So parents and environmental educators need to
find the ‘sweet spot’ between well founded alarm
and positive strategies. Our children, as future
stewards of the planet, need hope.
In a 2012 survey study of 723 Swedish teenagers,
those who expressed “constructive hope” had more
positive environmental attitudes and engaged in
more positive behaviors such as reducing energy
consumption and recycling.
By contrast, those who felt hopeless or whose
optimism was founded on denial of climate change
did little or nothing.

thought and analysis, and due consideration of the costs to
present and future generations of the looming climate
catastrophe, we are making the commitment that we will
strive to achieve as close as possible to 100% renewable
energy for all of BC’s energy needs by 2040.”
