Eco-parenting can promote climate resiliency in children
Children are disproportionately affected by the effects of climate change, yet have great capacity to be environmental change agents. This capacity is rooted in the skills developed during early childhood when children begin learning how to meet their own needs. Previous research indicates that problem-solving skills and abilities are important to address climate change, but little research exists on the specific role of parents in instilling skills of climate change mitigation and adaptation within the child.
