Description
This document monitors the mood of the nation relating to climate change, energy emissions and efficiency and topics like electric vehicles.
Findings:
- One in five New Zealanders don't agree that climate change is real. And there is confusion about which actions have the most impact on reducing climate change emissions.
- Many believe that recycling is a key answer to solving climate change. Eighty-four percent state this as their most common climate action, compared with higher impact, energy-reducing actions such as driving less (34%) or purchasing products with a low carbon footprint (33%).
- Most New Zealanders do feel pressure to act on climate change — three-quarters feel some sort of societal pressure to reduce their climate impact, and around half feel this closer to home — from friends and family.
