Children's television programs are increasingly addressing the Climate crisis, providing a platform for families to discuss the issue. Shows like Molly of Denali, Jane, and Octonauts: Above and Beyond feature climate-related storylines that help children understand the impacts of climate change and inspire action. However, these shows are still the exception rather than the norm, as only 2.8% of analyzed TV shows and films include key terms related to climate change. Nonprofit organization Good Energy aims to increase this figure to 50% by 2027. Experts emphasize the importance of accompanying climate programming with conversations to address children's concerns and highlight solutions.
