Public opinion on climate change is related to a broad set of variables, including the effects of sociodemographic, political, cultural, economic, and environmental factors[3] as well as media coverage[4] and interaction with different news and social media.[5] International public opinion on climate change shows a majority viewing the crisis as an emergency.
Public opinion polling is an important part of studying climate communication and how to improve climate action, evidence of public opinion can help increase commitment to act by decision makers.[6] Surveys and polling to assess opinion have been done since the 1980s, first focusing on awareness, but gradually including greater detail about commitments to climate action. More recently, global surveys give much finer data, for example, in January 2021, the United Nations Development Programme published the results of The Peoples' Climate Vote. This was the largest-ever climate survey, with responses from 1.2 million people in 50 countries, which indicated that 64% of respondents considered climate change to be an emergency, with forest and land conservation being the most popular solutions.[7]
