Just Participatory Research with Young People Involved in Climate Justice Activism
This commentary reflects on the tensions inherent in enacting creative, co-produced, and participatory methods with younger co-researchers who are also climate justice advocates. Whilst participatory research with young people involved in climate justice work has the potential to build intergenerational networks of solidarity, such research is contoured with complexity. The authors, two university-based researchers, juxtapose the social justice a…
Climate policy, youth voice and intergenerational justice
In this paper, we examine how youth voice and meaningful action that emerge from deliberative practices are shaped, legitimised, and constrained by national and international policy landscapes. Our paper situates itself within the policy nexus of the UK Government’s Sustainability Strategy in England (2022), and at the international level, the Berlin Declaration on Education for Sustainable Development (2021), where principles of participation, e…

Acknowledging intersectional interrelationships, this collaborative paper considers one type of…
Youth and environmental activism
This chapter discusses specificities of youth environmental activism in the twenty-first century. It addresses why and how young people are involved in environmental movements on a global scale, as well as political responses. The chapter draws on existing literature and interviews with young climate strikers (Fridays for Future) and Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists. Young people living precarious lives are being and have been politically soci…
Covid-ized Ethnography
This article offers a critical and reflective examination of the impact of the enforced 2020/21 COVID-19 lockdown on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with UK-based young environmental activists. A matrix of researcher and activist challenges and opportunities has been co-created with young environmental activists using an emergent research design, incorporating a phased and intensive iterative process using online ethnography and online qualitati…

This article deals with young people's involvement in these two global movements. It draws on 60 semi-structured interviews carried out with young environmental activists before, during and after protest actions under the auspices of th…
