Young people are unified politically over climate change threats for access to clean water. Among Gen Z (12-27-years-old), growing up seeing water crises like those in Flint, Mich. have solidified a concern for what climate change will mean for where they live. While not a majority, 31% of this gen are “concerned their generation won’t have enough clean water in the future,” but 72% are more broadly worried about pollution in waterways. And regardless of their political affiliation, they seem to agree that politicians are the ones responsible for doing something about this: 82% of Gen Z Republicans and 96% of Gen Z Democrats say so. While climate change is often a divisive issue politically, roups of young conservatives are pushing for environmental action, which researchers believe will “continue to depolarize” the cause.
