With Fridays for Future, the climate protests have gained such a social scope and political attention they never had before. But who is actually participating in this social movement, what motivates people to protest, and what are the attitudes of those involved? Several surveys among protesters from 2019 form the starting point of the analysis by Sebastian Haunss, Moritz Sommer and 26 other authors of this book. In twelve chapters, they provide insights into decision-making and mobilization structures of local Fridays for Future groups, analyse reactions to the protests in media, politics and society, and examine the attitudes of the youth and young adults towards climate change issues. The individual chapters are written to provide a broader audience with access to the initial research findings on Fridays for Future.
