The final two bulletins in the “Climate Change” series have just been published. These papers examine how international literature links children, adolescents, and youth to climate change and climate justice (issue number four), as well as to environmental education (issue number five).

To access the Bulletins:

Bulletin 4: Articles on climate change and climate justice in the international literature

Bulletin 5: Articles on environmental education in the international literature

The complete series of bulletins is based on academic articles and research reports produced by Brazilian, international, and multilateral organizations. These resources are available for download in the bibliographic database “Children, Adolescents, Youth, and Climate Change – National and International Academic Production (2020–2024).” Its objective is to contribute to the mapping and analysis of recent trends in scientific production, consolidating 142 articles published in Portuguese and 296 in English between 2020 and 2024.
