The Early Years Climate Action Task Force is exploring the impact of climate change on our youngest children and their families. Elliot Haspel and task force member Angie Garling discussed the need to incorporate climate resilience and sustainability in early care and education settings, the potential for co-locating housing and child care facilities, and how the task force can potentially influence community development policies and raise awareness among climate activists about the specific vulnerabilities of young children.
