We strongly believe that for children to engage with climate change and commit themselves to a lifetime of action, they need to see their voices recognized, affirmed, and amplified from an early age. The Young Climate Authors (YCA) is a book authoring program that teaches children how to write & publish storybooks on climate change for a global audience. Read the books written by past participants.
