12. Fridays for Future

Abstract: Fridays for Future hat eine rasante Entwicklung hinter sich. Im Zeitraum von weniger als einem Jahr ist aus den vereinzelten, kleinen Protesten von Schüler_innen eine einf lussreiche, in etlichen Ländern der Welt vertretene soziale Bewegung geworden. Fridays for Future ist mittlerweile ein zentraler, nicht mehr wegzudenkender Akteur des deutschen und internationalen Klimaaktivismus, dessen Positionen in der Öffentlichkeit präsent sind, der von den politischen und ökonomischen Eliten wahrgenommen wird und der b… Show more

“…In the March 2019 FFF event, for example, 14-25 year-olds amounted to 60% of surveyed participants in European cities. However, as Sommer et al's (2019) analysis with this dataset shows, there is a strong variation across countries, with those aged 19 years old and younger accounting for nearly 90% of participants in Poland and over 95% in the Netherlands, but only around 50% in Germany and less than one third in Italy, Switzerland, Great Britain and Belgium (Sommer et al 2019, 32; see Figure A2 in the Appendix). Moreover, as Figure 2 illustrates, the relative presence of the younger cohort (25 years old or less) decreased in the September 2019 event in comparison to the March 2019 strike in all countries except Italy, with an increase in the overall median age from 21 to 28 (de Moor et al 2020, 11).…”

“…The FFF mobilisations engaged high numbers of participants worldwide, transforming the regular Friday school strikes into a new wave of international protests, which were no longer tied to key events such as international summits (Neuber 2020). While there are a number of elements of continuity in the composition, action forms and motivations of climate activism (e.g., the predominance of protesters with a high level of formal education), according to the initial comparative studies on FFF, a number of novel characteristics stand out, such as the involvement of schoolchildren and students as initiators, organisers and participants in climate activism on a large scale (Wahlström et al 2019;de Moor et al 2020;Sommer et al 2019Sommer et al , 2020. Similarly, young activists have been found to be the core groups in territorial struggles, such as in the case of the No TAV movement in Northern Italy against the construction of the high-speed railway between Turin and Lyon (Piazza and Frazzetta 2018;della Porta and Piazza 2007), or in the occupation of the Hambach Forest in the North Rhine-Westphalia region against the destruction of the forest by an opencast coal mine (Ruser 2020, 812;Kaufer and Lein 2018, 4).…”

“…56 % über dem Durchschnitt. Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt es auch nahe, dass insbesondere gut ausgebildete Jugendliche aus dem idealistischen Milieu eher an FFF-Demonstrationen teilnehmen als Jugendliche mit weniger Bildungsressourcen(BMU 2020;Sommer et al 2019).Aus der Jugendforschung wissen wir einerseits, dass die zentralen Lebensziele junger Menschen starke Ähnlichkeiten untereinander aufweisen; diese sind nicht von unterschiedlichen Migrationserfahrungen geprägt (Shell 2019: 24). Andererseits ist allgemein bekannt, dass Jugendliche mit eigener oder familiärer Migrationsbiografie im idealistischen und formal höher gebildeten Milieu prozentual weniger vertreten sind, was sich auch in ihrem geringeren Engagement in der Umwelt-und Klimaschutzbewegungen widerspiegelt(BMU 2018(BMU , 2020.…”
