The vast majority of people in poor countries strongly agree to fight the change
About 90% of people in the 27 countries surveyed consider climate change to be a very serious or somewhat serious problem.
Thus, active actions were supported in Canada, France, India, Kenya, Nigeria and the United States. In the U.S., the number of people who perceive global warming as a serious or very serious problem has increased from 60 percent in 2014 to 81 percent in June this year.
Over the same period, serious concerns about climate change in India increased from 70% to 93% of those surveyed. According to Eric Wang of Globescan, the COVID-19 crisis has heightened people's sense of insecurity fromfever.
But when respondents were asked whether their governments should address the problem with the same urgency as they tackled the coronavirus pandemic, there were stark differences between rich and poor countries.
For example, in Japan, Sweden, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, less than 45% of respondents strongly agree with urgent action.
Similarly, when asked who would be hardest hit, over 60% of respondents in Brazil, Kenya, Turkey, Nigeria and South Africa strongly agreed that they would be poor.
