Generation Z is coming of age at a time when the effects of climate change, including rising temperatures, are increasingly widespread. As these young people grow into adulthood, their views of climate change will shape the nation’s response to climate-related challenges. The Walton Family Foundation and Gallup partnered to better understand how these young people experience climate change, their worries about climate effects and their views of their generation’s future.
The Walton Family Foundation is proud to support women leaders creating a Ripple Effect of change to protect water and help people adapt to a changing climate.

Beaver dams build climate resiliency by slowing water down and storing it in their ponds and the surrounding riparian area. Their wetlands are uniquely resistant to disturbances like droughts and fire.
