Older New Zealanders are starting to care about climate change

From First Up, 5:15 am on 7 July 2021

A new study has found that older New Zealanders are starting to care more intensely about climate change and are increasingly accepting that humans are behind the crisis. Over 56-thousand Kiwis, ranging from teenagers to people in their 90s, had their beliefs tracked for over a decade by University of Waikato researchers. Environmental psychology researcher Dr Taciano Milfont led the study and spoke to our reporter Carmina Blewett about the key findings.
