Across Europe, according to a seven-country survey, it seems young people are more willing than older generations to make big lifestyle changes that would help combat the climate crisis \u2013 but are less convinced by smaller gestures.<\/p>\n<p>The YouGov polling for the Guardian also showed the economic downturn was hitting young people\u2019s hopes for the future, with more than half saying they were worried they would be unable to own a home in the next decade. The survey, carried out in August in Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden, also showed a large minority of 18- to 24-year-olds felt economic concerns could dissuade them from starting a family within the same timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about what sacrifices they would be prepared to make to help fight global heating, 28% of 18- to 24-year-olds and 30% of 25- to 34-year-olds said they would be willing \u2013 or were already planning \u2013 to have fewer children than they would otherwise like. Young people were more willing to give up cars, with 54% of 18- to 24-year-olds saying they would \u2013 or already did \u2013 only walk, cycle or use public transport, against 45% of people over the age of 65. Similarly, 41% would switch to an electric car against 21% of people over the age of 65. While only 21% of 18- to 24-year-olds said they were willing to \u2013 or already had \u2013 cut meat and dairy out of their diet entirely, that was still a significantly higher proportion than in older cohorts (17% of 55- to 64-year-olds, and 13% of people over the age of 65).<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/25\/young-europeans-quit-driving-fewer-children-save-planet-climate-crisis\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/young-europeans-more-likely-to-quit-driving-and-have-fewer-children-to-save-planet\/\">Young Europeans more likely to quit driving and have fewer children to save planet<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1347,3986,1581],"class_list":["post-117948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-european","tag-lifestyle","tag-young"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117948\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
