"Generation Z and the transformation of American adolescence: how How Gen Z's formative experiences shape its politics, priorities, and future."

They don't define "Generation Z", but it's generally taken to mean people born between about the late 1990s and the early 2010s. People who would be children of Gen X.

This article has a compendium of statistics on Gen Z and how Gen Z differers from millennials and older generations: religious service attendance, part time jobs, having a boyfriend/girlfriend as a teen, bullying, drug & alcohol use, time with friends and social media, loneliness, video games, parental influence on education, finding a career, political polarization and gender divide, distrust of political leaders, LGBT identification, gender discrimination.

#ElizabethWathuti at COP26: "Please open your hearts"

'Today’s #young #people are coming of age just as the #stable #climate that has allowed #previous #generations to #thrive on our #planet begins to visibly #break #down—and just before our last chance to stop it falls out of reach. #Leaders keep #praising young people for standing up and #protesting. But #saving the #world needs #decisions from the leaders. Decisions that #prioritize the #lives of the #people and the planet.'

#Firenados in northern #California. #Ocean #fires in the #GulfofMexico. #Subway #waterfalls in #NewYorkCity. A #heat #dome in the #Northwest #melting #power #cables, killing hundreds and #frying #marine #animals. I have been told that combatting #climatechange is #expensive. Compared to what?’

‘If we do not act #boldly and #radically to combat the #climate #crisis, and significantly invest in #transforming our #energy #systems now, #future #generations will never #forgive us.’
