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.
