Dopo una breve introduzione sulle trasformazioni della sfera pubblica e dei processi partecipativi nella società globale in rete, il contributo si focalizza sull’analisi delle pratiche partecipative agite dai giovani in favore dell’ambiente e in contrasto al cambiamento climatico. Si osserva, in particolare, il rapporto tra le forme di impegno più legate alla sfera individuale e alle scelte di consumo (“lifestyle politics”) e quelle più marcatamente partecipative, siano esse agite online o offline. Particolare rilievo è dato al ruolo del movimento dei Fridays For Future e al modo in cui ha modificato la "scena" dell'ambientalismo soprattutto presso le giovani generazioni. Il contributo, mediante la restituzione dei risultati di una indagine qualitativa svolta con i membri dei suoi "nodi", offre un ritratto di Fridays For Future Italia. Tramite i dati raccolti attraverso una survey su un campione di 2000 persone di età compresa tra 18 e 34 anni, si è invece indagato il rapporto in generale dei giovani italiani nei confronti di questo movimento e della più ampia questione del contrasto al cambiamento climatico

Abstract
After a brief introduction on the transformations of the public sphere and participatory processes in the global networked society, the contribution focuses on the participatory practices implemented by young people in favor of environmental sustainability and in contrast to climate change. Attention is put on the relationship between the forms of commitment more related to the individual sphere and consumption choices (the so-called “lifestyle politics”)and those which can be considered as more markedly participatory, both online and offline. Particular emphasis is given to the role of the Fridays For Future movement and the way in which it has changed the "scene" of environmentalism especially among the younger generations. The contribution, through the reporting of the results of a qualitative search carried out with the members of its "nodes", offers a portrait of Fridays For Future Italy. Finally, through the data collected by means of a dedicated survey on a sample of 2000 Italian people aged 18-34, the contribution explores the relationship among Italian youths, climate change and Fridays For FutureI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
