Just looked up polls, and more than half of boomers answered that "climate change should be a top priority." A higher percentage of millennials believe that than Gen Z, which is surprising to me (and a bit worrying).
It's likely that GenZ is just fatigued and apathetic to climate change. They might have just resigned to their fate, knowing the world governments and greedy corporate vermin won't let anything meaningful happen in their lifetime.
Gen Z is primarily too young to have had life hit us in the face overall. A Good portion of us are still not even legally adults.
Your first job + Reality overall is a game changer.
Ask Millennials, they were on a similar track to boomers before 2008.
