Abstract
Generation Z is coming of age against a precarious backdrop of economic, climate and health crises.
Still grappling with the damages of the Great Recession, Millennials may be the burnt-out generation, but their successors don't have it any easier.
In the past few years, those born between 1997 and 2012 have experienced Trump's ascendency, devastating fires around the globe from Australia to the Amazon, and now a protracted global pandemic.
Gen Z's crisis bucket list seems short of only a zombie apocalypse.
