Cuartas_CDP_CARE

A recent paper led by Dr. Jorge Cuartas and published in Child Development Perspectives presents a framework based on bioecological and dynamic systems perspectives and on evidence for understanding how experiencing climate change-related risks early in life, including acute shocks (e.g., extreme weather events) and chronic risks (protracted global warming), can affect human development across the life course. The paper also discusses next steps for research and practice aimed at promoting resilience in the context of climate change.
