There is a fairly widespread acknowledgement among Canadians that climate change and environmental conditions are the result of human activities, particularly industrial activities and emissions. However, one in five Canadians believe that climate change is beyond our control. In 2020, this view was held by more than a quarter of 35-44 year olds, but by only 11 percent of 18-24 year olds.
