| Sumario: | The environmental crisis, ecological injustice and climate change are some of the biggest challenges to humanity and sustainable development worldwide. The youth are at the centre of the ecological (in)justice, environmental consciousness and climate change discourse. For the youth to participate and influence development with regard to the climate crisis in a favourable way, they must understand their role and the issues and challenges that they face in this regard.

It also offers insights on why the youth can be regarded as game-changing role-players with regard to the climate crisis and being environmentally conscious. |
