Climate change is a crisis of intergenerational justice. It’s not too late to make it right
The changing climate doesn’t just threaten younger people in the distant future, it’s happening now at a massive scale. But we can turn it around.

Australia has elected its youngest senator. With Gen Z wielding more political power, is it a sign of things to come?
21-year-old Charlotte Walker has made history. With huge challenges facing young people, better youth representation in politics is just what we need.

Y&R's Co-Director Philippa Collin just published this excellent article in The Conversation Australia + NZ on ways to make civics education more relevant to young people. Read the full article here: bit.ly/3CJNnWr @theconversation.com
bit.ly
Australian students just recorded the lowest civics scores since testing began. But young people do care about politics
In a new civics report, only 28% of Australian Year 10 students met the ‘proficient standard’ in 2024 compared to 38% in 2019.
