The survey explored participants’ perceptions of climate change, net zero and different actions that could increase or decrease carbon emissions in the UK.

The research was conducted jointly by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
