Press release Paris, 12 May 2011
- Young people want to be a force for change and create their
own vision of sustainable development, according to a survey of
more than 8000 young adults from 20 countries conducted by the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The study, called
the Global
Survey for Sustainable Lifestyles (GSSL), was one of the first
global surveys on sustainable lifestyles. The results provide
intriguing insights into the way young people think about their
daily lives and activities, their aspirations for the future,
and their beliefs about the role they play in influencing change. For more information, please view the Press
Release. To contact GSSL Research Partners on national results
