Table of ContentsReviewsLiterature as a Lens for Climate Change: Using Narratives to Prepare the Next Generation is a timely and necessary volume in the field of climate education. Rebecca L. Young has assembled a diverse range of contributors whose ideas about marshalling the power of narrative to teach climate change are both thought-provoking and practical. The chapters foreground the truth that young people today are not just victims of the intergenerational violence of climate change; they are themselves powerful leaders, activists, and storytellers.Yet as this book makes clear, the responsibility is not theirs alone for addressing the climate crisis; it is the responsibility of educators as well. This book then is not just a set of resources but an important call to action. -- Stephen Siperstein, Choate Rosemary Hall Author InformationRebecca L. Young is content specialist at Cognia and chief examiner for the International Baccalaureate’s Middle Years Programme in Language and Literature.
