About the Project:
National and state-level studies document youth mental distress about climate change, yet little work has translated this research into region-specific knowledge and action . This EarthLab Incubator Grant will connect this research to practice by convening professionals across the three states in order to share expertise and translate findings into actionable and regionally-focused agendas grounded in environmental justice and youth well-being. Agenda-setting activities will be enhanced by ongoing, novel analyses by the study team using statewide data from Washington, Oregon, and California.
