A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health in October 2024 surveyed nearly 16,000 young Americans, revealing that 85% are at least moderately worried about climate change, with 58% expressing very or extreme concern. This anxiety is influencing major life decisions. The same study found that 64% of respondents believe climate change will impact their future plans, including choices about where to live and whether to have children. These findings underscore the urgent need to address climate change to alleviate the mental health challenges faced by young people. Climate Anxiety Among Youth: A Wake-Up Call for Action

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
CCL Canada respectfully acknowledges that the work we support stretches across the homes of many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples on Turtle Island and that their traditional knowledge must be significantly incorporated as part of meaningful action on the climate crisis. We acknowledge that they are traditional owners and custodians of this land and that for decades they have been the first line of defence against climate breakdown. Indigenous resistance has stopped at least 1.8 billion metric tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution on Turtle Island
