The Greta effect: is Gen Z really driving climate action?

Promi­nent envi­ron­men­tal­ist Gre­ta Thun­berg – still only 18 years old – has been laud­ed as ‘the voice of a gen­er­a­tion’. But is that true? What do mem­bers of gen­er­a­tion Z (peo­ple born between 1995 and 2012)
real­ly think about glob­al warm­ing and cli­mate change? Are they the most active in advo­cat­ing for mass pol­i­cy reforms to improve the health of the ever-warm­ing plan­et they’re inher­it­ing? While the tire­less
lob­by­ing of the Swedish teen must be applaud­ed, are her peers tru­ly more green-mind­ed than pre­vi­ous gen­er­a­tions, as is wide­ly per­ceived?
