Many youth are expressing dissent toward economic, social, and environmental policies and practices that contribute to climate change in diverse ways, but clearly not all forms of climate activism have the same impact or repercussions. We have presented a typology for understanding youth dissent as expressed through climate activism. Recognizing the complex empirical reality of youth concerns about climate change, this typology has distinguished three types of activism as dutiful, disruptive, and dangerous dissent. By drawing attention to multiple ways for youth to express their political agency both within and outside of traditional political processes, we have highlighted and analyzed the diverse ways that youth are challenging power relationships and political interests to promote climate-resilient futures.enCreative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License 4.0 Internationalactivismclimate changedissentpoliticssustainabilityyouthJournal Article2018-10-24Fields of Research::44 - Human society::4408 - Political science::440805 - Environmental politicsFields of Research::44 - Human society::4407 - Policy and administration::440704 - Environment policyhttps://doi.org/10.5751/ES-10287-230342
