This briefing covers key findings on the environment from CaSE’s Discovery Decade 2022-23 public attitudes study, which comprised four nationally-representative surveys polling a total of 18,000 people, and 14 focus groups. It includes statistics and the opinions of focus group participants, and identifies three key points:
- Climate change is a major public concern and people believe R&D can help
- Relating R&D to the climate boosts support for investment and borrowing
- The environment is a strong connection point, linked to a global outlook and a desire to leave the world a better place for future generations
