Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion
Dr. Pete Lunn:
Yes, it is. That is a fair point to make. Usually, that refers to what might be called a political left-right divide on issues of fairness and redistribution. It does not refer to environmental policy and climate. The important thing to understand here is that we are measuring a young cohort of people who want to see much more radical climate action than the older group does and would have thought when they are aged 16 to 24. I am comfortable saying that even though I did not measure it when the older group was that age. I think that is pretty clear.
