Young Europeans push for bold ecological reforms amid divisions on growth paradigm
Young Europeans urge policymakers to take bold steps towards ecological transformation and a rethinking of the prevailing paradigm of economic growth, but they are divided on how to achieve it. While most envision a green and socially just transformation, a significant minority leans toward preserving the status quo or embracing nostalgic vision of a supposedly better past. In extreme cases, such leanings can escalate into a full-on backlash against democratic rules and norms.
Still, the vast majority of young Europeans is firmly committed to democratic values. And many act on their beliefs: 47% have stood up for an issue at work or school, and 29% say ethical concerns shaped their choice of employer. Boycotting products with a bad environmental or social footprint is particularly common among young people on the political left, where around 50% have taken part (36% across the entire political spectrum).
