In this month’s European Parliament elections, far-right parties performed predictably well – but especially, and unexpectedly, among young people. Far-right parties enjoyed a similar uptick in support in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Austria, and continued to do well in Italy. Gonzalo Fuentes/ReutersBut young voters appear less concerned by these roots, says Simon Schnetzer, author of a recent survey of Germany’s youth.

COP27 was another milestone for young climate activists as they became official climate policy stakeholders under the ACE Action Plan. Photo by Dominika Zarzycka/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesYoung people have long been at the forefront of discussions and activism around climate change. Improving education and awareness around climate change by making research easily accessible is one of its aims. This year's COP27 also saw the first ever official youth representative, Omnia El Omrani, fight for the inclusion of young people's voices, the launch of a climate youth negotiator program that aims to empower young climate activists from the global south, and the inaugural youth climate forum. Her and her colleagues also hope to change the way older generations see climate change and its urgency.
