A survey was conducted to research how age and knowledge about climate change can impact people’s actions regarding it. People have a large impact on the environment so knowing how different groups of people react to climate change would help with knowing how to effectively conduct outreach about climate change with certain groups of people. The hypothesis was that as age increased, more action would be taken to combat climate change. It was also hypothesized that as background knowledge about climate change increased, the amount of action taken would also increase. Three hundred and thirty-three people filled out the survey. Results supported the hypotheses, showing that as age increased action also increased and as background knowledge increased more action was taken.
