Citizens are alarmed by the climate crisis1, but most believe they are already doing more to preserve the planet than anyone else, including their government, and few are willing to make significant lifestyle changes, an international survey has found.
一项跨国调查发现,民众对气候危机感到担忧,但是多数人认为他们为保护地球所做的贡献已经比包括本国政府在内的其他人都要多,而且愿意为了环保在生活方式上做出重大改变的人也寥寥无几。
The survey found that 62% of people surveyed saw the climate crisis as the main environmental challenge the world was now facing, ahead of air pollution (39%), the impact of waste (38%) and new diseases (36%).
