Author and academic Jade Sasser explores modern attitudes to having children in an uncertain world.

The climate crisis is rapidly changing our world, with floods, droughts, and wildfires dominating the daily news.

Knowing how unstable Earth's future is, many young people are questioning whether having children is ethically sound.

Jade Sasser is a writer and educator whose work focuses on gender, climate, and reproductive politics.

In her April 2024 book, Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question, Sasser explores the conversations that women all over the world are having about children and exmaines science, politics, and opinion polls surrounding this big question.

With birth rates declining in many developed countries, it is high time that politicians understand why young people do not feel confident about bringing more people into our burning world.
