Climate change is a big concern of youth globally

The results of recent survey in Finland shows that climate change and pollution and the biggest threats for Finnish youth, bigger than drugs and wars. It also seems that young people don't think that Finland will do enough to solve problems with climate change.

Results of survey are similar to another poll by UNEP, that took place in five countries . Nearly 90 % of young people across the globe think world leaders should do "whatever it takes" to tackle climate change. Young people are clearly concerned about climate change. Concern is highest in Brazil (96%) and South Africa (91%), followed by India (85%) and the United States (82%), while significantly lower levels of concern are expressed in Russia (70%).
