Children and the Climate Migration Crisis - by Rose Cardarelli & Harley Pomper
Rose Cardarelli, Ed.D., Rotary International Representative to UNICEF and Alternate Representative to the UN in New York, has recently published a book, Children and the Climate Migration Crisis: A Casebook for Global Climate Action in Practice and Policy.
The book illuminates the ever-increasing crisis of climate disasters, which are expected to displace millions as the planet continues to warm.
Foregrounding how our children are increasingly shouldering the era-defining effects of climate change, Children and the Climate Migration Crisis chronicles the collective responsibility to address resulting consequences for the well-being and future of children everywhere. Using illustrative case studies to dive deeper into the current situation, this book outlines an educational response for mitigating climate migration and stress-related trauma, including how to foster the development of the social and emotional strengths and responses children need to grapple with a world in jeopardy.
Subverting eco-anxiety and establishing ways we can empower children around the globe, Children and the Climate Migration Crisis takes a holistic approach to bring together the relevancy and impact of forced migration and climate resilience, underpinned by a social-emotional approach to overall well-being, adjustment, and adaptability.
