At Wave 17, this study aimed to investigate associations between respondents’ affect with respect to climate change and their degree of support/opposition for various proposed policies that are intended to respond to it.
Respondents were asked about the extent to which they feel different emotions when they think about climate change: worried, disappointed, interested, hopeful, fearful, and calm.
They were also asked how much they support or oppose a set of policies: ending the sale of petrol / diesel vehicles, ending expansion of fossil fuels, investment in R&D including green innovations, and increasing offshore wind capacity.
