Poll shows rising demand for government action against climate change
Recent research shows that the plans so far on the table will not prevent global temperatures going far above 1.5C this century - a level that scientists say is the gateway to extreme impacts.
Across the 31 countries polled, an average of 56% of people want their governments to set stronger targets that would address climate change as quickly as possible.Just 8% want their governments to oppose a deal. There are some interesting changes in some of the biggest emitting countries, particularly China, where the percentage of respondents wanting to see their country play a leadership role has increased from 18% in 2015 to 46% now.India also sees a rise from 38% then to 56% now, with the US also showing an uptick from 45% of respondents then to 56% now.
