Details

The DESNZ Public Attitudes Tracker is a nationally representative triannual survey of adults (aged 16+) in the UK that tracks public awareness, attitudes and behaviours relating to the policies of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), such as energy and climate change. 

This report provides a summary of the headline findings from the Spring 2026 wave of the Tracker, which ran from 16 March to 21 April 2026. The Spring 2026 wave is the sixteenth wave in a series of surveys which began in Autumn 2021. Between Autumn 2021 and Summer 2023, surveys were conducted every quarter, although there was no wave in Autumn 2023. From Spring 2024, the survey moved to a triannual design with waves conducted every spring, summer and winter.
