As the climate crisis gets more severe, the fossil fuel industry is struggling to recruit new talent. And now a number of existing employees are deciding to leave their jobs, some quietly, some very publicly, because of concerns over climate change.

In this episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast, we speak to a researcher about this phenomenon of “climate quitting”. And an international team of researchers has reviewed studies to try to shed light on how climate change is already having an impact on children’s education.
