Abstract

This article summarizes youth use of media to address climate change in our forthcoming book, Youth Media Creation on the Climate Crisis: Hear Our Voices (Beach & Smith, in press). The book includes chapters on youth producing videos, digital images/art, social media, digital stories, and online writing media production. Here, we describe examples of the authors’ own media projects from selected chapters, as well as related research on producing these different types of media. You can access chapter summaries and related links, activities, and readings on the use of media for communicating about climate change on the book’s website.
