Europeans want climate action but not lifestyle change 鈥� poll

sc604 — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 06:07:36 +0000

探花直播results 鈥� part of a collaboration with Cambridge Zero, the 探花直播鈥檚 climate initiative 鈥� also found that as the UK prepares to host crucial climate talks in Glasgow next month, barely a third of British adults have noticed that the event is taking place.

According to polling conducted last week, just 31% of British adults have read or heard much about COP26 so far, compared with 63% answering to the contrary 鈥� either 鈥渘ot very much鈥� or 鈥渘othing at all鈥�. These numbers have also barely changed in two months.

When the same question was asked as part of the main, international fieldwork in August, results showed a slightly larger difference of 28% versus 67%. Predictably, the other populations showed even less impact, such as 17% versus 75% in France, 9% versus 84% in Sweden and 7% versus 83% in Germany.

However, the poll indicates that while survey participants may not be following COP26, a significant majority of the 9,000 people polled across the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy strongly support many of the aims of the talks, at least in principle.

Dr Emily Shuckburgh, Director of Cambridge Zero, said:

鈥淎s the impacts of climate change are starting to be felt everywhere, COP26 should be seen as a vital summit where the world must deliver immediate and meaningful climate action. But the bad news is that most people have still barely noticed that the world leaders who can actually take the actions needed will be in our own backyard.鈥�

Dr Joel Rogers de Waal, Academic Director of YouGov, said:

鈥� 探花直播good news for COP26 organisers is that in every country surveyed, the vast majority are on board with the programme, at least in principle. In each national sample, most agreed that climate change is a genuine phenomenon and a considerable concern, and rejected the idea that its seriousness is being exaggerated.鈥�

Beyond overall terms of debate, however, the same findings also indicate both strong support for certain environmental agendas 鈥� the polling showed widespread enthusiasm for 鈥渞ewilding鈥�, with 70% support in Britain and 79% in Spain for programmes to restore parts of the country to their natural state 鈥� and some obvious challenges.

However, when it comes to making lifestyle changes, participants were less enthusiastic. Despite the clear environmental benefits of eating less meat, all seven countries showed majorities who eat meat at least several times a week. Within the meat-eating section of respondents, only a small proportion claimed to have reduced their meat consumption over the past 12 months, and of those, generally around half or under had done so for environmental reasons.

Attitudes towards environmental action at the policy level are a mixed bag. In nearly every country, large portions support the policy of greatly expanding government investment in renewable energy, such as solar, wind and tidal power, including majorities or pluralities in Britain (66%), Germany (52%), Denmark (65%), Sweden (47%), Spain (74%) and Italy (69%). Only France was an outlier in this respect, where just 24% said the same.

But in other areas, public support is tentative and variable, such as bans on the sale of petrol or diesel cars and vans, or a frequent flyer tax.

Poll results also give a sense of public attitudes towards the new environmental activism.聽Additional polling聽for the project at the start of September asked British voters two questions regarding Extinction Rebellion 鈥� one about methods, the other about message. On the former, a 53% majority said the methods used by the protest group generally go too far, compared with only 10% saying they got the balance about right and 7% saying they didn鈥檛 go far enough. On the latter, however, only 38% thought the environmental warnings of Extinction Rebellion generally overstate the situation, next to a combined 41% saying that they describe the situation about right (32%) or even understate it (9%).

鈥� 探花直播most powerful protest movements are those that ultimately manage to inspire and co-opt the wider population, creating a sense of social momentum that becomes impossible for the political centre to ignore,鈥� said de Waal. 鈥淏y contrast, acts of civic vandalism that specifically target the basic necessities of daily life are more likely to do the opposite, since by infuriating the public, they only make it easier for governments to ignore the message behind the action.鈥�

All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample sizes were: Britain= 1767; Germany=2108; France=1035; Denmark=1009; Sweden=1015; Spain=1050; Italy=1000. Fieldwork was undertaken online between 6th 鈥� 23rd August, 2021. For each country, the figures have been weighted and are representative of the adult population aged 18+.

Europeans want urgent action on climate change but remain committed meat-eaters and question policy proposals such as banning the sale of new petrol vehicles after 2030, according to a new poll from the YouGov鈥揅ambridge Centre for Public Opinion Research that surveyed environmental attitudes in seven European countries, including the UK.

As the impacts of climate change are starting to be felt everywhere, COP26 should be seen as a vital summit where the world must deliver immediate and meaningful climate action.

鈥極verwhelming鈥� international support for more government action on environment

fpjl2 — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:07:10 +0000

Ahead of COP26, a survey experiment taking in the UK, US, Brazil, India, China, Indonesia and Poland finds聽huge support for more action from governments to protect the environment.

Mastering public policy

lw355 — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:00:18 +0000

Whether it鈥檚 setting the agenda on renewable energy, considering mass vaccination programmes, cutting cybercrime or determining alcohol pricing policy, governments face challenges that require measured approaches based on rigorous analysis of the evidence. Now, a new practice-oriented Master鈥檚 in Public Policy (MPP) launched by the Department of Politics and International Studies at the 探花直播 of Cambridge aims to encourage long-term thinking and better strategic planning among policy professionals.

探花直播course, which launches today (29 November) at an event at the Institute for Government in London and will take its first students in October 2013, draws on teaching from across the 探花直播 as well as from professionals in the policy world.

Director of the MPP, David Howarth, a Reader in the Department of Land Economy and a former Member of Parliament, explained how the course aims to help policy making: 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to make sure that enough people in the political system respect evidence and rational argument. 探花直播course presents a series of policy problems from a set of disparate disciplines 鈥� historical, scientific, political, economic, ethical, technological, legal and managerial. Policy makers can鈥檛 be experts in all areas but we aim to equip them with the broad range of skills needed to understand the types of evidence there is and the questions to ask.鈥�

During the one-year course, students will learn about the nature of evidence through a series of substantive case studies. They will also participate in simulations and experience first hand how complex messages are negotiated and communicated under intense pressure. Such skills are essential to equip policy makers with the tools to promote urgently needed new thinking on national, European and global challenges.

A further important aspect of the course, explained Howarth, is to encourage policy-related research across the 探花直播: 鈥� 探花直播Master鈥檚 is the first major output of the Cambridge Public Policy initiative, which has been set up to promote and support public policy research and teaching at the 探花直播. 探花直播course provides a focus to build capacity at the 探花直播 to respond to opportunities in policy research and analysis.鈥�

探花直播Cambridge Public Policy Initiative and the development of the new Master鈥檚 have been generously supported by sponsorship from 探花直播Constitution Society, Jubilee Financial Products and YouGov, as well as individual donations. Further sponsorship opportunities are available to support, among other things, dedicated scholarships and work-placement programmes, as Dr Miranda Gomperts, Head of Cambridge Public Policy Programmes Development and one of the key organisers of the MPP, explained: 鈥淲e hope to attract students from a broad range of areas 鈥� civil service, politics, voluntary organisations, NGOs, science and technology 鈥� and it鈥檚 essential that we can attract the very best students irrespective of their financial circumstances through the provision of scholarships. In the past 24 hours we have secured funding for six bursaries. Our challenge is now to raise funding for all students attending the course who need it."

探花直播course complements the work of other policy centres such as the Centre of Governance and Human Rights and the Centre for Rising Powers, both hosted in the Department of Politics and International Studies, and the Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP). CSaP was launched in 2009 as a networking organisation, with a mission of building links between government and academia characterised by mutual trust, respect and understanding. Its flagship Policy Fellowship Programme provides the opportunity for decision makers from government and industry to forge useful and lasting links with researchers.

探花直播Master鈥檚 has received widespread support among current policy makers and advocates of effective policy making, such as Rt Hon Peter Riddell, Director of the Institute for Government, who said: 鈥� 探花直播new Master鈥檚 in Public Policy is a welcome and important innovation, which should improve the skills of future public service leaders and raise the quality of their policy making.鈥�

Jos茅 Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, added: 鈥� 探花直播Master鈥檚 course in Public Policy, with its particular focus on Europe, offers an exciting opportunity to pool Cambridge鈥檚 expertise across a range of sciences, engineering, the humanities and social sciences, and contribute to improved policy making in Britain and the EU.鈥�

Applications for the Master鈥檚 in Public Policy are now open. More information about the Programme can be found at http://www.cpp.csap.cam.ac.uk/news/article-mpp-london-launch/

A new Master鈥檚 Programme in Public Policy, launching today by the 探花直播 of Cambridge, will equip policy makers of tomorrow with the tools to make informed and effective decisions.

Policy makers can鈥檛 be experts in all areas but we aim to equip them with the broad range of skills needed to understand the types of evidence there is and the questions to ask.
