**Since 2022, Veolia has been publishing the Barometer of Ecological Transformation every two years, in partnership with the Elabe consulting and research firm.**

Facing the climate and ecological wall, public debate has entered a new phase. Aware of environmental risks to their health and quality of life, populations around the world are demanding action. Existing solutions are widely accepted, but strategies to implement them struggle to structure on common grounds.

## <a class="ck-anchor" id="barometer-affects-26-countries-in-the-5-continents"></a>A barometer that affects 26 countries in the 5 continents

 The Barometer takes in 26 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 barriers and drivers that accompany the implementation of these solutions. An informative study that helps us to advance the debate and better understand how to achieve ecological transformation.

###   
  
Ecological fear sweeps the planet



 

 

 



**2/3** of the world's inhabitants feel exposed and vulnerable to a risk related to climate change or pollution.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

**64%** feel exposed and vulnerable to a health risk (including 64% being in poorer health and 58% having mental health problems).



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 





### Act to change the situation



 

 

 



67%believe that a solution that promotes the preservation of their health would motivate them to change their habits or to accept a slightly higher cost..



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

66%of the world's inhabitants are convinced that inaction will cost humanity more than ecological action.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 





### Decarbonize, depollute and regenerate resources



 

 

 



More than ⅔ of the world's inhabitants are ready to pay a little more for:

- energy produced locally from non-recyclable waste and biomass.
- water and for fruits and vegetables to finance solutions for treating soil and [water pollution.](/en/pollution/water-pollution)



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

66% (+13% compared to 2022) are ready to drink potable water from the recycling of wastewater to reduce the risk of running out of water.
