This thematic issue aims to move beyond simple, narrow and descriptive accounts of how climate change education is, or could be, integrated into early childhood programmes. Rather, it calls for empirically-based, grounded and critical contributions that promote effective change, along with theoretical analyses, critical and reflective reviews, and essays and insights from across disciplinary fields.
