Abstract	"We examine whether exposure to climate change-related natural disasters is associated with adolescents' aspirations to work in green occupation. Understanding adolescents' aspirations for such occupations is crucial for ensuring a workforce with green skills to contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Combining individual-level data on occupational aspirations, job task data for measuring the greenness of occupations, and administrative data on disaster events, we find that adolescents who were exposed to a natural disaster aspire to occupations with a higher percentage of green job tasks. The result of this exposure is stronger for individuals who are more environmentally aware or more likely to believe that environmental issues will improve." The study refers to the period 2016-2016 (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
