Climate change being the central theme of the research paper dives deeper into understanding the level of awareness, the perceptions formed and the eventual outcome of whether it leads to actions against curbing climate change or not. This research paper tries to uncover the mindset and willingness of the youth to lead a change for the better tomorrow. Furthermore, the paper dives deeper into exploring new discoveries and assumptions in order to understand the action taking capabilities of the youth as per the level of awareness and the level of positive perception that the respondents have.
