Did anyone here attend, and can you report on the event?
Related to that, here is a brief excerpt from an article that goes into depth on the kinds of questions kids are asking...
Every day, more children discover they are living in a climate crisis. This makes many children feel sad, anxious, angry, powerless, confused, and frightened about what the future holds.
The climate change burden facing young people is inherently unfair. But they have the potential to be the most powerful generation when it comes to creating change.
Research shows that where climate change is taught in schools, it is primarily represented as a scientific and environmental issue, without focus on the social and political causes and challenges.
While children need information about the science of global warming, this is not enough. Climate change should be integrated into all subjects in the curriculum, from social studies to maths to food.
Teachers should also be trained to understand climate challenges themselves, and to identify and support students suffering from climate distress.
