Communicating the climate crisis to children

OxTalks is Changing

OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Communicating the climate crisis to children

How do we talk to children about climate change? What can kids and adults learn from each other about how to approach such a controversial and scary subject? Should we protect young people from knowledge of the very real dangers of the climate crisis, or should we trust them with the full truth? These were the questions our panellists, Janice Lao and Dr Steve Smith dealt with as they each worked on their recent books for children about the climate crisis. Join us for a discussion of these questions, and bring your own for Janice and Steve.

SoGE alumna Janice Lao and Oxford Net Zero Director Dr Steve Smith in conversation about their recent climate change books for kids. Online talk in the main programme of Meeting Minds Global 2021.
