We did a survey of 6,000 people under 35 - in Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain & UK – on attitudes about #ClimateJustice

Key findings in this blog by @RobinWebs & Jenny Gellatly, which include:

1.Only 1/5 think their country is doing its fair share on emissions... 2. 81% think we need a societal transformation: changing economies, how we travel, live, produce,consume
3. 72% agreed that people most affected should have more of a say in decisions about climate solutions
4. Lowest agreement that climate impacts on inequalities were in the UK
