Worldwide support for climate change action is “stunning”

Yesterday’s topic discussed the faction of the population that continues to deny climate change. Largely falling along political lines, the opposition against actions to neutralize global warming seems counterproductive.
A new UN poll illustrates that in many countries it may also be politically unwise. Except perhaps in the U.S. where the results indicate that the polarization runs deep.
Some of the poll’s findings include:
- Globally, 56% of those polled said they think about climate change daily.
- A similar number said their concern over climate change is greater now than a year ago
- Almost 70% indicated decisions on where to live and work were being affected by climate change.
Check out the presentation for more of the poll’s findings.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
