Challenging the Climate Crisis: Children’s Agency to TAckle Policy Underpinned by Learning for Transformation
Our consortium seeks to co-create new knowledge through the ‘eyes and ears’ of children, teachers and other supporters of learning on how they situate and make sense of their lives in relation to climate complexity and cultural shifts.
CCC-CATAPULT aims to critically examine educational, worldview and intercultural influences on children’s climate and environment-focused learning and agency at a time when ‘eco-anxiety’ is starting to become a defining characteristic of the climate emergency. This has ramifications for young people. Taking this as a starting point, the CCC-CATAPULT project proposes creation of a fully blended transdisciplinary conceptual framework synthesized using multiple knowledges, literatures, methodologies and impact pathways.

About
From initial consideration of these perspectives, our overarching areas of enquiry are: How do we ensure young people become ‘climate literate’? And when they are, how do we ensure that literacy does not become overwhelming? Could knowledge and/or experiences of climate impacts during youth impede or nurture climate literacy? Could experiences of intercultural collaboration and dialogue nurture reduced eco-anxiety and empower young people? How do young people, teachers and other key actors shaping the learning of children, understand the value-action gap in tackling the climate emergency? Could intercultural and intergenerational experiences positively or negatively influence the value-action gap? What might legitimate transformation look like to young people going through different processes of sense-making and cultural meaning formation in relation to reducing the value-action gap?

SOLSTICE
Enabling Societal Transformation in the Face of Climate Change
SOLSTICE is a joint transnational call for proposals. JPI Climate invited the SSH community to take the lead and to submit proposals that address the societal aspects of climate change. Building on an emerging trend of research, SOLSTICE offered a transnational framework with higher levels of funding than before. The rationale for this call was outlined in the JPI Climate's 2019 White Paper on societal transformation in the face of climate change.
