Most pressing global problem?
"Climate change, even now", say most people in UK, France, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
"Yeah, you know, climate is important, but we can't put it front and center, because it's not a priority for voters", the Dutch green party once told me. It is now. Not an excuse anymore, for whatever party.
In fact, it's amazing that voters have it this high on their list, when so few parties and politicians have ever put climate action front and center in their messaging. Go, go, go now!
h/t @NienkeHoman (news) and @HenriBontenbal (graphs)!
"Most respondents (57%) believe that the highest priority should be given to continuing or increasing climate change commitments when it comes to ongoing financial recovery discussions across Europe." That's a Green Recovery and an #EUGreenDeal, dear policy makers.
The percentage worried about climate change in these 7 countries remains high, around 70%. Within that category, the share of the people "a great deal" worried jumped from 22% to 28% in the past 6 months.
Perhaps the most striking outcome: *if* in recovery plans tradeoffs were to be made between climate action and the economy (often not even the case), almost 2/3 says climate action should prevail!
