The SLACC partners have completed the research phase in their respective countries. This included finding out to what extent young people in Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Austria, France, Cyprus and Slovenia are aware of climate change. To this end, each partner conducted desk research as well as interviews and focus groups with both young people and youth workers and trainers.
The level of awareness young people have about the impact climate change has on their everyday lives can be considered quite high, even if not everywhere people are consciously willing or ready to take bigger steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. The general interest in the topic, especially from more active, well-educated youth is also ever-growing. Strong evidence for this is the many youth organisations all over the partner countries which are committed to fight climate change and have launched a large number of climate awareness projects in the recent years. This gives us a reason to see a potential in young people for becoming climate ambassadors.
