Young People: Emerging Narrative Change Leaders
Climate Calling is an inclusive narratives project run to diversify voices in the UK’s youth climate movements. It uses visual design and access to research to support young people from marginalised backgrounds to champion hyper-local narratives about climate change based on lived experience and heritage.
Disproportionately affected by climate-linked health issues and racism, young Black and Brown people face challenges like air and water pollution, limited green space access and racism within healthcare access. However these issues are made invisible by mainstream narrative about climate change. We use social media to tell climate stories that centre the knowledge of those who are worst affected.
Connecting Young People to Research
If you are a young person interested in accessing research that explores climate change through a racial justice lens ask our AI assistant Black Ink. You can also read our report that show how climate change affects health, highlighting its impacts on Black and Brown people in the UK and around the world.
Our AI GPT is here to discuss humanitarian and environmental concerns with you through a racial justice lens.
Our chatbot has access to specific knowledge on these topics compared to chat GPT. Give it a go - try asking it what "what environmental racism is"
