THE BAROMETER

The Barometer of Ecological Transformation gauged public opinion about climate change and measured the willingness of people around the world to accept solutions.

The first edition of the Ecological Transformation Barometer was conducted by Veolia in partnership with the research and consulting firm Elabe, using a sample covering more than half the world's population.

The Barometer takes in 25 countries(1) on 5 continents covering a sample of more than half the human population. The countries were chosen for their demographic weight and their relevance: countries on the front line of the effects of climate change, but also countries that are pioneers in ecological policies.

The scope of this Barometer allows us to assess the global and local level of acceptability of existing ecological solutions and to discover the brakes and levers that accompany the implementation of these solutions. An informative study that will help us to advance the debate and better understand how to achieve ecological transformation.

Interested in seeing what people in Australia had to say about climate change?

Let’s dive in!

Australians believe climate change is happening...

Despite this, we know the situation is serious and we’re pretty worried about it…

But it’s not all doom and gloom - 57% of people think that the future is still in our hands

Although it is difficult for people to imagine what life would be like if we achieved ecological transformation...

So who needs to act? And what are we willing to do

 

Fear of consequence of inaction is significantly stronger than the fear of cost of change
