The People’s Climate Vote
Thunberg’s supporters span generations. But the media has identified her as a spokesperson for Generation Z, representing the views of those born between the mid-to-late 1990s and the early 2010s. A new poll supports this idea.
Organized by Oxford University and the United Nations, it is the largest global warming survey ever conducted. The “People’s Climate Vote” reached 1.2 million people from 50 countries. It found that nearly 70% of participants under the age of 18 believe climate change is a global emergency. Only 58% of those over 60 agree. As a headline in the
Jakarta Postput it, “Greta Thunberg’s generation most likely to believe climate change is a crisis.”
