According to the study, which followed a large number of young people over several years, nearly three-quarters of 16-year-olds surveyed indicated they are largely indifferent to climate change. The researchers conducting the study said they were surprised by the level of indifference among the surveyed 16-year-olds. The exact number of young people followed in the research study has not been disclosed, nor has the specific duration over which the study was conducted.
The reasons behind the high level of indifference reported by the 16-year-olds remain unclear, and it is unknown whether the study includes comparative data from other age groups or previous years.
