The world has been profoundly affected by global crises. Young people have been highly impacted, particularly regarding their future and identity construction. Through in-depth interviews, the study aims to identify, understand, and contrast the career constructions and future working prospects concerning the climate crisis, its characteristics, and its consequences on their life trajectory among ten college Brazilian students using Consensual Qualitative Research. We constructed four categories of analysis with sub-themes. In the first category (impacts of climate change on trajectory and current situation), the sub-themes are life projects marked by the need to make a social contribution and environmental activism as a feeling that there is something very wrong with the world that requires a solution. In the second one (making sense of the climate crisis), they stressed that colonialism, capitalism, people's lack of responsibility and empathy, State and labor market silence and connivance, and greenwashing are responsible for the climate crisis. In the third one, they highlight the main impacts on lifestyles, identity, and the future, on one hand, climate anxiety, feelings of powerlessness, frustration, and climate injustice, and, on the other hand, hope for change and emphasize the importance of collective in life projects. Finally, as the fourth category, they propose the need for radical solutions and action in the entire society, environmental inclusion at education in schools, and the expansion of activist actors generally restricted to the most vulnerable populations as future solutions. Despite these, they highlight young people's distanced relationship with these climatic phenomena and point out that safety and labor issues have been more prominent and urgent in developing contexts such as Brazil, placing climate issues in the backburner. Regarding the implications for practice, career guidance, and counseling should consider including climate issues as central issues for constructing careers and the future of work.
