A recent Ipsos survey reveals widespread belief in rising global temperatures and more extreme weather events. While optimism exists for government action on carbon emissions, regional variations emerge.
Eight out of ten people agree that the average global temperature will increase in 2025, according to an Ipsos survey of more than 23,700 people across 33 countries, conducted between October 25, 2024 and November 8, 2024. Around nine in ten respondents in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and China said they thought this is the case.
