Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question looks at how environmental emotions influence whether, when, and why people today decide to become parents-or not, Jade S. Sasser argues that we can and should continue to create the families we desire, but that doing so equitably requires deep commitments to social, reproductive, and climate justice. This book presents, original research, drawing from in-depth interviews and national survey results that analyze the role of race in environmental emotions and the reproductive plans young people are making as a result. Sasser concludes that climate emotions, climate justice, and reproductive justice are inseparable, and that culturally appropriate mental and emotional health services are a necessary precondition to ensure climate justice for vulnerable communities.
