64% of People Globally Say Climate Change is an Emergency: UN Report
A survey of 1.2 million people in 50 countries delved into attitudes towards the climate crisis.

LONDON, Jan 27 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) People living in the poorest countries are less likely to see climate change as an emergency or think it requires urgent action, the biggest-ever survey of public opinion on the issue showed on Wednesday.
But despite regional differences, almost two-thirds of the 1.2 million people surveyed in about 50 nations agreed global warming was a crisis, in the online Peoples Climate Vote poll conducted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the University of Oxford.
The people have spoken
The votes are in from a massive climate change survey that covered 50 countries with over half of the world’s population, with the majority of respondents calling for wide-ranging action to address the climate crisis.
