2022 (English)In: Relational and Critical Perspectives on Education for Sustainable Development: Belonging and Sensing in a Vanishing World / [ed] Margaretha Häggström; Catarina Schmidt, Springer, 2022, p. 129-142Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

To live in a sustainable manner is not easy, and young people often experience pessimism and low efficacy concerning problems such as climate change. This chapter explores how young adults acquire practice-based hope, or not, by investigating how they cope with ambivalence about energy saving. Results are interpreted in relation to psychological and educational theories, and practical implications for education are discussed.
