Most Europeans want action to tackle climate crisis but not at any cost, poll shows
A recent YouGov survey reveals that a significant majority of Europeans acknowledge climate change, with many advocating for urgent action, albeit with minimal personal sacrifice. The poll, conducted across six countries, indicates that 69% to 80% of respondents believe in climate change, while only a small percentage deny its occurrence. Most participants support international cooperation to tackle the crisis and prefer EU-level decision-making on climate actions. Concerns about climate change have risen, particularly in France, where 'very worried' respondents increased from 28% to 42% over a few months. Popular climate actions include tree planting and energy efficiency subsidies, while measures impacting personal lifestyles, like increased fuel duties, face opposition.
