Journal article

‘The slow pandemic’: youth’s climate activism and the stakes for youth movements under Covid-19

AUTHOR(S)
Georgina Christou; Eleni Theodorou; Spyros Spyrou

Published: January 2022 Journal: Children's Geographies

Pandemic conditions have affected social movement activity in various ways. This article explorea how young Cypriot climate activists, associated with the global Fridays for Future movement, attempt to integrate pandemic conditions in their mobilizing tactics, as well as how such conditions affect their collective youth agency. It first looks into the strategic antagonistic framings they develop to counter dominant discourses of the pandemic as an unprecedented crisis and explores how these are informed by their understandings of, and emotions on, climate change as an effect of capitalism and overconsumption and as a type of ‘slow pandemic’.

COVID-19 & Children: Rapid Research Response

UNICEF Innocenti is mobilizing a rapid research response in line with UNICEF’s global response to the COVID-19 crisis. The initiatives we’ve begun will provide the broad range of evidence needed to inform our work to scale up rapid assessment, develop urgent mitigating strategies in programming and advocacy, and preparation of interventions to respond to the medium and longer-term consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. The research projects cover a rapid review of evidence, education analysis, and social and economic policies.
