Abstract
This chapter presents an exploration of young people's digital media practices for climate justice applying the conceptual figuration of a general ecology. The figuration of “general ecology” positions digital media technologies as elements of young people's natural environments intricately interwoven with atmospheric and climatological processes. To illustrate a “general ecology” theoretical framing to youth digital media studies, we draw on two significant speculative digital research projects, namely the co-development of Climate Action Adventure! with Australian children and young people, and the co-production of speculative online drama performances with young people in Australia and Sri Lanka. We conclude that these speculative digital projects act as sites of generating knowledge differently, affirming that education requires an urgent change in becoming worthy of the general ecological conditions of the Anthropocene or ecocide.
