Climate Change Survey for Young People

Tell us what you think about climate change and what actions are most important.

Tackling climate change can help improve people's health and quality of life, create new jobs, and protect nature and future generations.

Councils in West Sussex are creating action plans to reduce carbon emissions (e.g. from buildings and transport) and prepare for climate change impacts (e.g. flooding and heatwaves).

Please share what you think by filling in the short survey below so that the councils can include young people's views in the new action plans.

Hear more in this short video from Councillor Natasha Davie (opens in new window), who leads the West Sussex Joint Climate Change Board.

• Sharing the results: We will mix your answers with everyone else's answers to make a big report. We will share this report with the other local councils so they can fix their climate plans.
