Published article “Political Imaginaries in the Climate Movement: Youth-Led Groups Constructing Plural Views of the Future”
The scientific article “Political Imaginaries in the Climate Movement: Youth-Led Groups Constructing Plural Views of the Future” was published on November 6, 2024, in the journal Sociological Research Online. Developed as part of Task 2 of the JustFutures project (analysis of young people’s narratives on climate change), the article presents an analysis of the political imaginaries of four climate activist groups in Portugal – Climáximo, Greve Climática Estudantil Portugal, Ambiental-IST and LIDERA a Década do Clima – through a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of texts published on their websites and social media. The analysis shows the plurality of political imaginaries of youth-led climate groups and their commitment to exploring alternative ways of governing climate change.

Published article “Prioritising communities: barriers to climate activism and political imagination among minoritised youth groups”
The scientific article “Prioritising communities: barriers to climate activism and political imagination among minoritised youth groups” was published on November 4, 2024, in the journal Journal of Youth Studies. Developed as part of Task 4 of the JustFutures project (eliciting imaginaries of climate and the future), the article presents an analysis of how minoritized young people (with a migrant background and/or underserved communities in Portugal) conceive their involvement with climate change issues, the barriers that constrain their engagement with climate activism and the challenges in the political imagination of the future. The findings suggest that minoritized youth would like to have a voice in political debates about climate change and that more inclusive dialogues about climate futures could help bridge existing territorial and social divides.
