Young People at a Crossroads

Young People at a Crossroads was an ESRC-funded research project (Jan 2021 - Feb 2023) about how second-generation immigrant young people and their parents are responding to climate change in Manchester and Melbourne.

Researchers worked alongside 14-18-year-olds with family migration backgrounds to find out what they think about climate change and how this fits with their families’ experiences of adapting to environmental uncertainty in the UK, Australia and worldwide.
