Table 3 Domain III. Youths’ perceptions about climate action: supports
Theme | Sample quotation |
|---|---|
From family | My siblings definitely influenced me a lot in terms of being environmentally conscious. School made me aware, but I don’t think I would have taken action if I didn’t have someone in there with me, like, “Okay. Let’s go vegetarian together” (17 M.US). |
From peers | I actually joined that climate change group because one of my friends was in it, and she pretty much got our whole friend group to join the climate movement (17 M.US). |
Hope and empowerment | Looking at other people [in the Climate Change Collective] and going like, “Oh OK, there’s a lot of us, we can do this, we can do something.” It’s really nice, it’s really inspirational, even (17 F.US). |
