“Climate issues have risen rapidly in public understanding. Even though the cost of living and clickbait election policies have dominated public debate, the decisions we make now will impact communities for thousands of years,” she says.
“A 100-year time horizon - let alone a 1000-year one - is not something we often think about in a three-year election cycle. Children born this year will experience three to four times as many extreme climate events in their lifetime than voters aged 60 or older. This is an election for our children and grandchildren. Their lives may depend on our votes this year.”
