Summary: public support a green recovery

71% globally agree

that in the long term,

climate change is as

serious a crisis as

Covid-19.

68% globally say their

government will be

failing them if it

doesn’t act now to

combat climate

change.

65% of the public

globally support a

‘green’ economic

recovery from the

Covid-19 crisis.

57% globally say they

would be put off voting

for a political party

whose policies don’t

deal seriously with

climate change.

Seven in ten consider climate change as serious a crisis as Covid-19, and a similar proportion

feel their government will be failing them if it doesn’t act on climate change now. Two thirds

globally support a green economic recovery from the crisis.

2


A majority globally say they are likely to

make changes this year, but the

proportion saying this has not increased

since a comparable Ipsos survey in

2014. The changes we are most likely to

make are mainly lower effort and lower

impact.

Summary: public no more willing to change their climate behaviours than they were in 2014
