=== Youth awareness and activism ===
Published in the journal ''[[Childhood (journal)|Childhood]]'', the article "Children's protest in relation to the climate emergency: A qualitative study on a new form of resistance promoting political and social change" considers how children have evolved into prominent actors to create a global impact on awareness of climate change. It highlights the work of children like [[Greta Thunberg]] and the significance of their resistance to the passivity of world leaders regarding climate change. It also discusses how individual resistance can directly be linked to collective resistance and that this then creates a more powerful impact, empowering young people to act more responsibly and take authority over the future. The article discusses the potential impact of youth to raise awareness while also inspiring action, and using social media platforms to share the message.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Holmberg|first1=Arita|last2=Alvinius|first2=Aida|date=2019-10-10|title=Children's protest in relation to the climate emergency: A qualitative study on a new form of resistance promoting political and social change|journal=Childhood|volume=27|pages=78–92|doi=10.1177/0907568219879970|issn=0907-5682|doi-access=free}}</ref>
=== Threats against climate journalism ===
The Covering the Planet report, a global survey of more than 740 climate journalists from 102 countries by [[Internews]]’ [[Earth Journalism Network]] (EJN) and [[Deakin University]], reported that 39% of surveyed journalists were "sometimes or frequently threatened" by their government or from companies or individuals involved in professions such as logging and mining, while the same percentage had to self-censor the content they reported out of fear of repercussions. The report stated that 30% of journalists faced threats of legal action due to their reporting. 62% included statements from sources skeptical of anthropogenic climate change in order to "balance" their reports, some doing so to lower potential scrutiny.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Lakhani |first=Nina |last2=reporter |first2=Nina Lakhani climate justice |date=2024-06-05 |title=Nearly half of journalists covering climate crisis globally received threats for their work |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/05/climate-crisis-journalists |access-date=2024-06-10 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
