“…The systematic search identified studies reporting on approaches to engage young children with climate change. Upon screening the full texts, four peer-reviewed journal articles [26,[41][42][43] and one conference paper [44] met the inclusion criteria and were included in the narrative synthesis below. A backward selection found one book chapter [45], a report [46] and a book [47] that met the inclusion criteria (see Table 2).…”

“…Children's sense of agency and their socialisation processes towards the environment within the family context were also important in sustaining their engagement with environmental issues. Schill, Muratore, and Hogg [42] explored whether and how French children engaged with environmental issues from a child-centred perspective, suggesting the importance of supporting and encouraging children's engagement in environmental issues at the individual and collective levels. Schill et al [42] reported that children's engagement with environmental issues was influenced by individual factors, such as knowledge, interest, perceived responsibility and behavioural control, as well as socio-contextual factors, such as communication within the family and socialisation processes.…”

Therefore, Schill et al concluded that the adults' agency is essential to empower children to take environmental action beyond their immediate ecosystems, but they were unable to determine the role of institutional contexts to influence children's engagement with environmental issues [42].…”

Climate change poses a significant risk to young children (birth to eight years). Early childhood education and care is believed to play a pivotal role in guaranteeing young children’s understanding of sustainability issues and climate change. Yet how education translates into climate action in early childhood is still unknown, and there is a need for research to explore the approaches that may be deployed to foster young children’s engagement with climate action. This scoping review aims to identify and describe the existing literature highlighting the approaches used in early childhood education to foster climate action amongst young children; map the gaps in this emerging field of inquiry; and make recommendations for areas of future research to address this problem. These findings offer potential priorities for educators, researchers and policymakers to develop climate change education programmes that are meaningful to young children in the early years. Based on the findings, areas for interventions related to climate literacy and climate change education, which may be helpful in raising awareness of climate change among young children, will be outlined.

Young consumers are increasingly taking on the mantle of champions for sustainable behavior. However, notwithstanding the long-established and rich debate on sustainable consumption, studies are missing that delve deeper on how young consumers, especially Millennials and Gen Z, dialogically frame their sustainable consumption choices and their favor for sustainable brands. We conduct an in-depth netnographic investigation that provides a deep cultural understanding of the motivations and priorities that young consumers associate with sustainable choices in their social media conversations, which represent the most common ground where sustainable commitments are discussed. Considering that plastic-free refillable water bottles are emerging as the daily consumption choice that young consumers are adopting to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle, we see in that a compelling research context in which the motivations that young consumers prioritize when they embrace plastic-free brands can be explored. Our findings visually map and dig deeper into the complex constellation of the dominant themes and interplays among them that young consumers discuss in their conversations about the adoption of plastic-free refillable water bottles. Across all the conversations we analyzed, the notion of care emerges as the key priority for young consumers and sustainable consumption is depicted as a holistic form of self-care. Our paper contributes to delve deeper into those conversational dynamics in and through which the priorities related to sustainable consumption choices are shaped and constructed through the expressive and material capacities of the different social formations that are engaged into the discussion of sustainability issues. Our paper also provides a methodological blueprint for the investigation of the dialogic process of sustainable brand building.
