New Research
Climate Awareness and Action –
Is there a link between public perceptions and government performance on climate policy? – An international comparison
On the occasion of Climate Week 2020, the Association for Environmental Justice in Israel publishes a new study that examines the complex relationship between climate awareness and perceptions and the ambition of climate policy in specific countries via reviewed the literature that gathered the results of key international climate awareness polls that took place for the last 5 years. By observing factors that influence climate awareness and concern at the global and regional level, and by examining climate perceptions and mitigation policy in several countries, the new research provides better understanding for the critical discourse on the link between public climate awareness and political climate action in a particular country and in the global arena.
