Climate? Yes, it's important. But….

Survey: What do people really think about the socio-ecological transformation?

Climate protection - yes, it's important. Because almost everyone is worried about the rise in temperatures. The “if” is hardly up for debate. But how and where should climate policy measures be implemented? Who exactly should be targeted? Those are the crucial questions when it comes to fair and broadly supported climate policy.

We have taken a closer look via a survey in 19 European and North American countries:

  • How do the different social milieus tick when it comes to the socio-ecological transformation?
  • What are their expectations and fears?
  • Where are the social majorities and where are the significant barriers to climate protection that is supported by the population?
