Japan Is Obsessed With Climate Change. Young People Don’t Get It.

Japan Is Obsessed With Climate Change. Young People Don’t Get It. | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
Because the country has to import most of its energy, an apparent drop in concern by Japanese young people alarms many government officials.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Great examples in here of using cultural resources to drive habit change, and to help shape younger generations into making climate change an important part of their every day choices. References to Fukushima as a push toward energy efficiency, and conflicting opinion data from year to year. What could be causing these contradictions?
