I’m having trouble finding the primary source for the 39% figure. Medium doesn’t directly link it. They link to this source when they quote the 39% figure but that source doesn’t have the figure.
I skimmed over the sources linked in that source and still couldn’t find the figure.
I’m just wanting the original study. Sharing your sources isn’t this hard.
Edit: I found a study that has a similar figure, but it required independent searching. Medium needs to do better with their citations.

Hickman, Caroline et al.
The Lancet Planetary Health, Volume 5, Issue 12, e863 - e873
Here is the table where subjects were asked: “Does climate change make you feel any of the following?”
“I am hesitant to have children” has a collective response of 39.1%, and it’s not the most popular response compared to the other negative feelings listed.
