Abstract
This webinar will explore Climate Superpowers, an evolving body of work focused on co-researching and co-developing resources with children, young people and educators to support their wellbeing, learning and action in the context of climate change. It began with the co-development of the Climate Superpowers website in 2022 with children and young people aged 12-25 in 2022. The website invites young people to take a quiz to find out about their ‘climate superpowers’ – social, natural, built, political, human, cultural and financial – and then to explore ways of using these by taking on actions across four categories: learning about climate change, self-care, everyday action and transforming society. The website is currently being extended to include resources for teacher wellbeing and classroom resources.
