Climate anxiety in Australian children is on the rise, but how parents discuss and frame the issue can make a difference. QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute has been leading research into the effects of climate anxiety and they found the parents’ values and behaviour towards climate change can shape the views and emotions of children.
