A Generation's Burden: How Global Issues Shape a New Worldview

The unique combination of global crises—from climate change to political instability—has fostered a sense of urgency and existential dread among this generation.

This has led them to be more cynical about established institutions and more willing to forge their own paths to create a better world.
