The Impact
Loss of life as we know it!
Kids see the impact of a changing climate every day – increased frequency and intensity of storms, floods and droughts, melting icecaps, rising sea levels and increased wildfires. They are witnessing an increase in environmental refugees moving out of drought-affected areas, fleeing flood zones and extreme weather events. They see the interconnectedness and how it affects us all. Millennium Kids are turning up at workshops saying they feel worried and anxious about their future. They see inaction in governments around the world, and they want to know why adults are not making the changes we need now.
The Solution
The future is now – everyone can make a difference
Millennium Kids worked with University of Western Australia Medical Faculty, Medical Scholarly Activity, to survey young people and find out what they think through a survey Young People of Australia; Perceptions, Climate and Concerns
Here are some of the results from the survey:
- 96% of the participants interviewed considered climate change to be a serious problem.
