A small but growing number of studies are increasingly exploring the range of emotions young people experience as a result of climate-driven disruption. One aspect of this research pays particular attention to how these emotions impact both desires and plans to parent children, now and in the future. However, these studies pay little to no attention to racial difference, despite the fact that communities in the U.S. experience differential environmental and climate impacts based on social factors, including race. This presentation explores the question: is race a factor in the expression of climate emotions and parenting plans? And if so, how can we address climate emotions as a key component of climate justice interventions that support vulnerable communities of color?
