How does the climate crisis affect our health? Why are some people more severely affected than others? And how can young people cope with concerns about the future?

This booklet focuses on the links between climate, health and justice, and makes it clear that the climate crisis is not just an environmental problem, but a social and health challenge – and therefore a reason for collective action. In this issue, discover background information, practical examples and teaching ideas for your school.
