Special Eurobarometer $meta.survey.reference : Europeans’ attitudes towards climate change

The main results of the survey on climate change, jointly commissioned by the European Parliament and the Commission, show Europeans have a real awareness of the problem and are willing to act in a more environmentally responsible way. Climate change is seen by Europeans as one of the world’s most serious problems, second only to poverty. Over half said they were fairly well informed about climate change but a large number said they still lacked information. When asked what should be done, a majority of Europeans thought that industry, governments, the public and the EU do not do enough to combat climate change. Three out of four primarily blamed industry. The survey shows that more and more Europeans are personally doing something to combat climate change, both in their personal consumption (sorting waste, reducing energy and water consumption at home, consuming fewer throw-away products, purchasing local and seasonal products) and their mode of transport. It is noted that more effort needs to be made in relation to renewable energy. One last point to note: 44% of Europeans say they are ready to pay more to combat climate change. #### Processed data Processed data files for the Eurobarometer surveys are published in .xlsx format. + __Volume A "Countries/EU"__ The file contains frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of (weighted) replies for each country or territory and for (weighted) EU results. + __Volume AP "Trends"__ The file compares to previous poll in (weighted) frequencies and means (or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies); shifts for each country or territory foreseen in Volume A and for (weighted) results. + __Volume AA "Groups of countries"__ The file contains (labelled) frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of (weighted) replies for groups of countries specified by the managing unit on the part of the EC. + __Volume AAP "Trends of groups of countries"__ The file contains shifts compared to the previous poll in (weighted) frequencies and means (or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies); shifts for each groups of countries foreseen in Volume AA and for (weighted) results. + __Volume B "EU/socio-demographics"__ The file contains (labelled) frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies for the EU as a whole (weighted) and cross-tabulated by some 20 sociodemographic, socio-political or other variables, depending on the request from the managing unit on the part of the EC or the managing department of the other contracting authorities. + __Volume BP "Trends of EU/socio-demographics"__ The file contains shifts compared to the previous poll in (weighted) frequencies and means (or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies); shifts for each country or territory foreseen in Volume B above)and for (weighted) results. + __Volume C "Country/socio-demographics"__ The file contains (labelled) weighted frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies for each country or territory surveyed separately and cross-tabulated by some 20 socio-demographic, socio-political or other variables (including a regional breakdown). _________________ For SPSS files and questionnaires, please contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)这份由欧洲议会与欧盟委员会联合委托开展的气候变化调查核心结果显示，欧洲民众对气候变化问题具备切实认知，且愿意采取更具环境责任感的行动。 欧洲民众将气候变化视为全球最严峻的问题之一，仅次于贫困。超半数受访者表示自己对气候变化有较为充分的了解，但仍有大量民众称自身相关信息储备不足。 当被问及应采取何种应对措施时，多数欧洲民众认为，工业界、各国政府、普通公众以及欧盟层面在应对气候变化方面的投入均未达标。其中四分之三的受访者将首要责任归咎于工业界。 调查显示，越来越多的欧洲民众正从个人消费与出行方式两方面主动采取行动应对气候变化，个人消费层面包括垃圾分类、减少居家能源与水资源消耗、减少一次性产品使用、购买本地及应季商品等。同时报告指出，在可再生能源领域仍需加大推进力度。 另有44%的欧洲民众表示，愿意为应对气候变化支付更高的成本。 --- ### 经处理的数据 本次欧洲晴雨表（Eurobarometer）调查的经处理数据文件以.xlsx格式发布。 + **卷A：“国家/欧盟”** 该文件包含各国或地区、以及经加权处理的欧盟整体调查结果的频数、均值及其他综合统计指标，其中涵盖用于描述（加权后）回复分布特征的基础二元统计量。 + **卷AP：“趋势”** 该文件将本次调查与往期民调的（加权后）频数、均值（及其他用于描述回复分布特征的综合统计指标，含基础二元统计量）进行对比，同时呈现卷A中所列各国或地区及经加权处理的欧盟整体结果的变化幅度。 + **卷AA：“国家群组”** 该文件包含欧盟委员会（EC）管理单位指定的国家群组的（带标签）频数、均值及其他综合统计指标，涵盖用于描述（加权后）回复分布特征的基础二元统计量。 + **卷AAP：“国家群组趋势”** 该文件将本次调查与往期民调的（加权后）频数、均值（及其他用于描述回复分布特征的综合统计指标，含基础二元统计量）进行对比，同时呈现卷AA中所列国家群组及经加权处理的整体结果的变化幅度。 + **卷B：“欧盟/社会人口统计学维度”** 该文件包含经加权处理的欧盟整体调查结果的（带标签）频数、均值及其他综合统计指标，并基于约20项社会人口学、社会政治学或其他变量进行交叉制表，具体变量类型由欧盟委员会管理单位或其他签约方的管理部门根据调研需求确定。 + **卷BP：“欧盟/社会人口统计学维度趋势”** 该文件将本次调查与往期民调的（加权后）频数、均值（及其他用于描述回复分布特征的综合统计指标，含基础二元统计量）进行对比，同时呈现上述卷B中所列各国或地区及经加权处理的整体结果的变化幅度。 + **卷C：“国家/社会人口统计学维度”** 该文件包含各受访国家或地区的（带标签）加权频数、均值及其他综合统计指标，涵盖用于描述回复分布特征的基础二元统计量，并基于约20项社会人口学、社会政治学或其他变量（含区域细分维度）进行交叉制表。 _________________ 如需获取SPSS格式文件及调查问卷，请联系莱布尼茨社会科学研究所（GESIS）：[https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
