The main objective of the thesis was for the author to find out the attitudes and perspectives of young Belgians and Finns with regard to climate change and the transport methods they use. The author had the opportunity to spend 1 year in Finland and learn about a new culture which motivated him to make a comparison between Finnish and Belgian youth.
Before embarking on the practical side, the author had to do some theoretical research to better understand the problem of global warming in the transport sector. He had to find information about Belgium and Finland. This enabled him to continue discovering Finnish and Belgian culture.
The author was able to compare the habits and outlook of young Belgians and Finns. To obtain accurate answers, the author carried out 2 identical surveys with the same target group: the first survey was for young Belgians and the second survey was for young Finns. This survey was carried out using google forms and sent via the author's social networks (Instagram, messenger).
