ABSTRACT: The policies and choices made today will affect climate and sustainability outcomes for the rest of this century and beyond, and young people today have a significant stake in this future. Many young people are voicing their opposition to economic, social, and environmental policies and practices that have contributed to climate change. 14 participants were interviewed about their views relating to environment, activism and sustainability with the help of Google Forms between the ages of 20 to 25, and the data were analysed thematically. A literature review was done to get a deeper understanding of this topic. The results show us how youth are more politically conscious and concerned about climate change and how direct consequences affect their daily lives. We can also see the growth in the popularity of sustainability, social media activism, environmental innovation, waste reduction and local activism among the youth. We understand the relation youth has with the environment, their impact and what they are doing to bring about a change in society. They are tomorrow’s future and this is to be an insight for where we are headed in terms of what environmental laws and their future impact will look like, and understand youth wokeness better. But more empirical research is needed to make a conclusive statement about how youth activism translates to legal changes.
