lmost 80 per cent of
citizens across the globe are very concerned about the impacts of climate
change, but close to 70 per cent also see action to combat it as an opportunity
to improve their quality of life.
These are among the findings of the largest ever citizen
consultation on climate change carried out by the more than 100 partners of the
World Wide Views Alliance in the run up to the UN Climate Change Conference in
Paris (COP 21), taking place this December.
The debate and citizen consultation, conducted on a single
day in 75 countries starting in Fiji in the Pacific and ending in Arizona in
the United States, involved 10,000 people carefully selected for being
demographically representative of their countries.
