Description:
To assess the views of the youth throughout the globe on various aspects of lifestyles and to better understand, educate and empower young adults worldwide to create their own positive visions of sustainable lifestyles, a survey of more than 8000 young adults from 20 countries was recently conducted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The study, called the Global Survey for Sustainable Lifestyles, was one of the first global surveys on sustainable lifestyles.
The survey focused on young urban adults aged 18-35. With half of the world's population under 30 years of age and most of them living in developing countries, young adults are increasingly becoming catalysts for social, cultural and technological innovation and significant figures in shaping lifestyles and consumption trends. In India the survey was conducted by the Venkatesh Trust for Education and Excellence and a total of 228 respondents were approached.
The report basded on this survery is aimed at policy makers and relevant stakeholders, to assist them on how to help support the shift to sustainable lifestyles through effective policies and initiatives, including communication and awareness-raising campaigns. It consists of cross-country conclusions and recommendations as well as 16 country papers, which provide insight into country-specific conditions, culture, economic development and other factors affecting lifestyles.
This report will be released during this workshop.
