However, the case of climate change, may play a distinct role and thus participation. Given long-term consequences we argue it different emotions across disparate age groups. We investigate extent which young, adult, senior strikers experience relation change. Furthermore, analyze contribution these younger older motivation demonstrate. Using unique dataset collected among strike demonstrators eleven cities around world September 2019, examine importance explaining motivations take part demonstration – pressure politicians or defend one's interests.
