Who are these youth, where do they come from, and why did they
join this project? In this section, we ground our study by exploring
team member's personal experience of climate change before the
IPCC project. We look to where they come from—the social and
ecological regions they call home—the entangled environmental,
industrial, educational, and cultural landscapes that create their
specific, situated experiences of climate change. Team members
express not only their direct experiences with observable climate
change impacts, but also climate change as a concept, a social
experience conveyed through media, teachers, parents, and peers.
Lastly, we attend to youth emotions and the reasons they joined
the IPCC project.
