Over past episodes, we’ve heard from communications practitioners, academics, activists, and many more, all sharing their respective insights into how we might better communicate climate change. Despite the range of perspectives, though, these guests all had one thing in common: They’re adults.
This time, I wanted to explore a very different worldview, that of a child, to see if there might be valuable lessons we could learn and incorporate into our own approaches to communicating climate change. And, I have to say, by the end of this episode, I think you’ll agree that there are plenty.
This episode features a conversation with 11-year-old climate podcaster, Zachary Fox-DeVol. It was recorded in April 2023. Zach is the host of We The Children, a podcast discussing climate change and solutions to global warming from a kid’s perspective.
Amongst other things, Zach and I talked about climate anxiety and feelings of helplessness in younger generations and the wider public, the gaps he perceives in climate communication as it stands today, how he stays up to date on climate news, and who his climate heroes are and why.
I also got the chance to ask one of Zach’s moms, Carol, a few questions about the impact that raising such an engaged child has had on their family life, as well as any advice she might have for parents in a similar position.
