Only one in two Norwegians thinks Norway will take significant steps to fight climate change
Only half of Norwegians believe that Norway will make significant progress in tackling climate change in the next decade, a new survey from Ipsos shows.
Norwegians are thus far more pessimistic than people in other countries. Among others, 73% of Swedes believe that their country will make significant progress, while the global average is 67%, according to the survey.
Norwegians also have low confidence that other countries will do their job. Only 34% of respondents believe other countries will make significant progress. Malaysia is most optimistic on behalf of other countries – the figure is 78%. The global average is 57%.
60% of Norwegians are worried about the impact of climate change on Norway, while 70% are worried about the impact on other countries.
A significant majority, 84%, believe the government and companies have the main responsibility for reducing carbon emissions. 76% think they are individually responsible.
