This summer Jan Eichhorn and Elizabeth Bomberg published a dpart report on age and climate change engagement.

Climate concern is not just the preserve of the young.

Comparing survey data on Germany, the UK, and the US, the report outlines how the climate crisis is of concern to both young and old, though these groups differ in how they engage.

The report also reveals cross-national variation, underlining the role national context can play in shaping how people think and how they act on the issue of climate change.
