The deliberate killing of young people and future generations. Primarily used in the context of inaction on climate change and global warming by the fossil fuel industry, politicians, and governments.

Coined by Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist and author of Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution, in a Guardian article from November 2021.
For over 50 years, the fossil fuel industry has actively suppressed the truth about global warming; knowingly committing neocide. They knew that fossil fuels would lead to catastrophic global heating which would be especially destructive to young people and future generations.
