Environics International Environmental Monitor, 2000

Environics International Environmental Monitors (EIEM) is a syndicated annual survey of global public opinion on a variety of environmental and natural resource issues. The findings of the 2000 Survey are based on the results of face-to face or telephone interviews with representative samples of about 1,000 citizens in each of 34 countries on all continents, and at varying stages of economic development. This represents about 70% of the world's population. Research was conducted by respected social research institutes in each country between April 4, 2000 and July 10, 2000. The survey consisted of 20 minutes of questions dealing with topics such as national problems, extreme weather patterns, personal concern about the environment, the scope of concern, effects of pollution, effects on human health, economic impacts of environmental clean-up, feelings about empowerment and personal action, industry performance, governance, climate change, biotechnology, chemicals, and automobiles. A number of additional questions were asked in fewer countries.
