Climate Spotlight: Gen Z on Water Issues
As extreme weather events increase across the U.S., Gen Z Americans are the latest generation to experience these events as a "new normal." This report dives into their perspective on water issues related to climate change.
The data reveal that an overwhelming majority of Gen Z say it is very or somewhat important to protect oceans, lakes and rivers from pollution -- but many do not think the U.S. is doing enough to protect water resources. Over one-third of Gen Zers fear they will need to relocate due to climate change, with a notable percentage worried about water pollution, floods and droughts in their communities.
Download the report to learn more about Gen Z's perspectives, concerns and priorities regarding climate change and water resources.
