Youth Culture Uncovered is an ongoing research series investigating what life is really like for today's young people.
Youth Culture Uncovered 2019
For 2019/2020, we explore youth's attitudes and behaviours in the context of the defining challenge of our times - the climate emergency - in 'World War Z: A Generation's Battle to Fix the Climate Crisis.'
In May 2019, Ireland became the second country, after the UK, to declare a climate and biodiversity emergency, reflecting the reality of how we have been waging war on our planet. This requires nothing less than a vast mobilisation on a scale greater than ever yet achieved - just as in wartime, our prosperity, well-being and the future of young people are under severe threat. We called this research “World War Z” because this is, we believe, our last shot. Young people are realising that we are in the final few seconds of extra time. They are calling us to enter into battle with them.
With reference to climate science, cultural trends and nationally representative research recently undertaken in the Irish market, this report explores Gen Z’s take on what they believe brands and businesses should be doing to lead them towards a society that is stronger, safer, healthier, happier, resilient, considerate and just. A war in the name of a society that is measured by more than its GDP.
The insights are designed to help organisations to relate to young people and respond to the challenges faced by the climate crisis in a more impactful way. The report is also available as an in-house presentation and workshop.
