The YouthXchange Guidebook on Climate Change and Lifestyles focuses on the challenges, opportunities and good practices of climate change. It explores the interrelationship between climate change and lifestyles through a scientific, political, economic, social, ethical and cultural angle and identifies actions young people might take towards more sustainable lifestyles. It channels the relevant information related to climate change in a less abstract and frightening manner, helping young people develop alternate visions and set goals towards improving their future.
