EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN LITHUANIA

The difficulties caused by climate change, according to Lithuanian respondents, will never go away. While 27% of them think the climate emergency will be resolved by 2050, 66% think it will still be a major problem by the middle of the century.

The hazard posed by climate change may potentially extend to people’s homes. 15% of Lithuanians who were asked about the long-term effects of the climate catastrophe expect to have to relocate to another area or nation as a result of climate change. Those in their twenties are more than twice as likely to express this worry, with 31% of them saying they are concerned about the potential of having to relocate due to climate difficulties. A lot of young people worry about the viability of their careers as well; 25% of respondents aged 20 to 29 are afraid they would lose their jobs if they continue to work in fields that are incompatible with the battle against climate change.
