Over 80% of people across the globe want their government to take “stronger” action to combat climate change, according to the UN Development Programme (UNDP) survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Peoples’ Climate Vote 2024 was completed by 75,000 people across 77 countries and the survey consisted of 15 questions on the topic of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim of the survey was to understand how climate change is impacting people across the world, and how the people want their government to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNDP administrator, Achim Steiner said that the vote is “loud and clear”, and that global citizens want their government to act now and “act boldly” to fight climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the world’s “biggest” greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters, such as, China and Iran, were in favour of stronger government support against climate change.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The survey discovered that women from Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the US were more likely to want more climate action from the government compared to men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
