Climate Change: Public Awareness
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what recent assessment he has made of the level of awareness among the public of the consequences of climate change.
- Answer
-
In March 2009, as part of the Act on CO2 Campaign, our independent research showed that about 90 per cent. of those consulted indicated that they were aware of climate change.Recent qualitative research studies, commissioned separately by the Department for Transport, and by my Department, probed what people actually know, and suggested that levels of literacy about climate change are low and fragmented.
