Survey finds global fears over climate
Print Edition
The widest global effort yet to gauge citizens’ views on climate change showed 79 percent to be “very concerned” about its effects, organizers said.
Results of the day-long consultation held in 79 countries on Saturday were posted on the website of the initiative dubbed World Wide Views on Climate and Energy yesterday.
Next week, they will be put to climate negotiators meeting in Bonn, Germany, ahead of a year-end United Nations conference in Paris, where nations have undertaken to sign a new world pact to curb global warming.
Responses to a multiple-choice questionnaire showed that 71 percent of the 10,000-odd participants believe the UN talks have not done enough.
Nineteen percent said they were “moderately concerned” about the effects of climate change, and fewer than two percent were not at all concerned.
