THREAD/ Our new 28 country/region study on climate change uncovers big differences in global attitudes, particularly between East and West (and often between the US and everyone else)

In most places we studied, most people expect climate change to have at least a fair amount of impact on their lives. This concern is higher in Asia/Middle East than in the West

Across the world most people (50-82%) think it is not too late to avert the worst impacts of climate change, but that we will need to take drastic steps...

And there is widespread belief that both our home countries and ourselves as individuals could be doing more to tackle climate change, although people in Scandinavia and the Middle East are least likely to feel this way

People lay the blame for climate change in different places depending on where in the world they are. In Asia they are more likely to blame international bodies like the UN, while in the West people are more likely to blame business and industry yougov.co.uk/topics/science…

Finally, most people worldwide think that climate change will lead to serious economic damage, lost cities to rising sea levels, mass displacement of people and small wars. In Asia especially people believe it will lead to the extinction of humanity itself
