Eco-emotions

A 'Climate Change Club in a Box' resource

Looking to support your pupils with their climate-related eco-emotions?

This session - part of our 'Climate Change Club in a Box' is specifically designed to encourage children to explore their feelings around climate change, delving deeper into the reasons why these arise.

This carefully structured resource supports teachers step-by-step with suggestions and techniques to help manage children’s worries and harness their emotions to bring about positive changes for our planet

'Almost 9 out of 10 children don't think enough is being done to tackle climate change, and 81% don't feel they are being listened to'

UNICEF UK survey, 2021

'Nearly 75% of children are worried about the state of the planet, 22% VERY worried'

BBC Newsround survey 2020

This new resource has been developed with grateful input and advice from Dr Louise Edgington, Chartered Psychologist, and Steering Committee member of the Climate Minds Coalition.

These are a sample of the building blocks that make up our 'Climate Change Club in a Box' Eco-Emotions session.

It is crucial for children to be given the opportunity to learn about and understand climate change in a way that enables them to recognise that any emotions they feel are valid.
