The company surveyed 7,200 adults in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, France and Britain in December last year and again in June. Nearly a third 鈥 28 percent 鈥 saw climate change as the most pressing issue in the world, down slightly from 32 percent in December. Sixty-nine percent still described themselves as 鈥渜uite鈥 or 鈥渁 great deal鈥 worried about climate change. 鈥淏oth these results remain fairly stable when compared to December 2019. It therefore seems that climate change has established itself as a durable worry in the mind of European citizens,鈥澛爐he company said in a statement. Climate change ranked higher than poverty, war and conflict, economic recession, and epidemics or diseases, which saw a sharp rise from six percent to 20 percent between the two surveys.聽

Climate action聽has remained a priority聽for most people in Germany even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to dominate the public agenda. However, a debate around wind power acceptance has repeatedly flared up in the recent past, contributing to the industry's worst slump in 20 years. This has led to calls to make public acceptance a key task of future energy transition policies.
