Amnesty International's survey shows that climate change is the most cited global issue among young people aged 18 to 25. The main concerns were climate change (41%), followed by pollution (36%) and terrorism (31%). The survey, which interviewed more than 10,000 young people from different countries, also found that the loss of natural resources, racial inequality, violent crime, aggression against women and access to clean water are issues that affect one in five young people from Generation Z.
“If the [climate] events of 2019 teach us anything, it is that younger generations deserve a seat at the table when it comes to decisions about them,” Kumi Naidoo, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, said of the research.
