Portuguese people among most informed

According to the EIB, the fight against climate change requires collective action — from governments, institutions, businesses and individuals.
A good understanding of the climate challenge is essential for people to make informed choices.

To assess the public’s understanding of climate change in Portugal, the sixth edition of the EIB Climate Survey focuses on people’s knowledge of climate change in three key areas: definitions and causes, consequences, and solutions.

Participants answered 12 questions and were ranked on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 indicating the highest level of knowledge. With over 30 000 respondents across 35 countries, including the EU Member States, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Japan, India and Canada, the EIB Climate Survey provides valuable insights into people’s overall understanding of climate change.
