Sustainability – Climate Change, Raw Materials, Future

Sustainability requires concrete help from everyone to utilise existing resources in such a way that they are also available for future generations and the world remains liveable. There are differences in the way different age groups understand and implement the concept of sustainability. One study shows that Generation Z – born between 1995 and 2009 – has a greater interest in climate and environmental protection than many older people, while another study shows that young people are calling for sustainable, intergenerationally fair politics and economics. 60 % of young people are in favour of sustainable values such as environmental protection. It can be deduced from this that younger generations are more committed to sustainability than older ones. However, this does not mean that the elderly are uninterested, but that there is a broad group that is committed to doing its part for sustainability. The mining industry has been doing this for a long time. (1, 2, 3). © 2024, Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH. All rights reserved.
