　　语法分析：

　　本句的主干结构是一个由连词and连接的并列句。构成并列的第一个句子是Surveys show that younger generations are more concerned about climate change. 其中that younger generations are more concerned about climate change，是由that引导的宾语从句，做动词show后面的宾语，意思是“年轻一代更关心气候变化”。构成并列的另一个句子是some of the success of plant-based meat can be chalked up to shoppers wanting to signal their desire to protect the environment. 意思是“并且植物肉的部分成功，可以归功于购物者们，他们想要表达自己保护环境的愿望”。其中 wanting to signal their desire to protect the environment，是后置定语，修饰shoppers。

　　参考译文：调查显示，年轻一代更关心气候变化，并且植物肉的部分成功，可以归功于购物者们，他们想要表达自己保护环境的愿望。
