The world’s largest ever study of 10,000 young people’s thoughts on climate crisis, is pretty scary
🔥 Fifty-Six Percent of Young People Think Humanity Is Doomed
🔥 75 percent said they believed the future was frightening.
🔥 45 percent of 16-25-year-olds said climate-related anxiety and distress is affecting their daily lives and ability to function normally.
🔥 Almost 60 percent of the 10,000 young people surveyed across 10 countries attributed this to their national governments, who they said were “betraying” them and future generations through their inaction.
🔥 On TikTok, however, #climateanxiety has 370,000 views.
🔥 By country - people from countries more directly and immediately impacted by climate change tended to be more worried about the future. Ninety-two percent of young people in the Philippines said they felt like the future was frightening, compared to just 56 percent in Finland.
