Young voters care about stopping climate change, even if it means hurting economic growth, according to a new poll from the Harvard University Institute of Politics <https://iop.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/content/190419_Harvard%20IOP%20Spring%202019_Topline.pdf>.

“Dealing with climate change is now central to both a domestic as well as a foreign policy agenda of young Americans,” said John Della Volpe, director of polling for the Institute of Politics, indicating that the number who prioritize climate change over economic growth has grown from 32 percent four years ago to 46 percent now.
