[Commpsych] Fw: Children and climate change - hot off the press (and free to download for a limited time only)!

[Heather Gridley]

Hi everyone

Just sharing this news of a wonderful new e-book by Ann Sanson, Susie Burke and colleagues:

Elements in Child Development: Children and Climate Change
Ann V. Sanson<https://www.cambridge.org/core/search?filters%5BauthorTerms%5D=Ann%20V.%20Sanson&eventCode=SE-AU>, Karina Padilla Malca<https://www.cambridge.org/core/search?filters%5BauthorTerms%5D=Karina%20Padilla%20Malca&eventCode=SE-AU>, Judith Van Hoorn<https://www.cambridge.org/core/search?filters%5BauthorTerms%5D=Judith%20Van%20Hoorn&eventCode=SE-AU> and Susie Burke<https://www.cambridge.org/core/search?filters%5BauthorTerms%5D=Susie%20Burke&eventCode=SE-AU>

The existential threat posed by climate change presents a challenge to all those concerned about the next generation. This Element reviews and discusses its implications for the development of children (ages zero to twelve) today and in the future, and for the parents, teachers, researchers, and professionals who have responsibility for children. This Element adopts a bioecological model to examine both the direct impacts on children’s physical and psychological well-being and indirect impacts through all the systems external to the child, emphasising the greater vulnerability of children in the Global South. Given the evidence of well-founded climate anxiety, this Element examines children’s coping strategies and discusses the key roles of caregivers and schools in protecting and preparing children to face current and future challenges – with knowledge, hope, and agency as central themes. This Element highlights many under-researched areas and calls for action by all those caring for and about children’s future.

The book is part of a series titled Elements in Child Development and it's free to download for a short time only. There's also a video clip of Susie and Ann talking about how they came to write it:

Hi folks,

It took me a lot of time to write this book with my colleagues, so I thought I should share it so you can see why I'm distracted at times!
I don't expect you to read it, (well, not all of it... - and anyway, it's a pretty academic piece of work) but it's a good reference if you're campaigning or writing grant applications etc.
If you click on the link you can see a video abstract of Ann and I chatting about the book.
Cheers,
Susie
