The challenges of the green transition for the rural youth in France : Addressing discontent, building a just transition
Résumé
The second chapter presents the perspectives of youth in rural France. The author of the article, Théodore Tallent, looks at the specific role of young people in rural areas in the green transformation and adapting to climate change. The author analyses the tensions experienced by young people in rural France between youthful (environmental) awareness and rural scepticism (towards the green transition). The article offers important insights by pointing out that young people have a wide variety of opinions and their attitudes to environmental issues are shaped by social and cultural background factors such as whether they live in urban or rural areas. It suggests that whatever the measures and policy initiatives created, different perspectives must be balanced. Understanding the views of young people living in rural areas needs to be listened to in contemporary Europe
