with @FelixChopra @TeodoraBoneva1 @Armin_Falk. Link to paper: Link to website with further information:

"Rather than echoing the concerns of a vocal minority that opposes any form of climate action, we need to effectively communicate that the vast majority of people around the world are willing to act against climate change and expect their national government to act.".

This misperception can hinder successful climate action. People who underestimate the public support are often less willing to take action themselves. Our best response is to correct our own pessimism. As we conclude in the paper ….

3⃣ Yet, the majority believes they are in the minority: people systematically underestimate others' willingness to fight climate change. In basically all 125 countries, and to a large extent.

2⃣ The willingness to act on climate change is significantly higher in countries most affected by it. Conversely, richer nations show a somewhat lower willingness.

1⃣ 69% of people worldwide are willing to contribute 1% of their income to fight climate change. 86% say people should try to fight climate change. And an astonishing 89% demand intensified political action.

We conducted a globally representative, behaviorally-validated survey – the Global Climate Change Survey – in 125 countries, with ~130k interviews.
