Climate change - public engagement: survey results 2022
Results of a representative survey of the Scottish public, focused on attitudes and engagement with climate change. The results will act as a baseline for the Public Engagement Strategy for Climate Change.
Appendix 1: Further analysis
When looking at the question "in general, how often do you see or hear information about climate change from each of the following sources/channels?" asked in this survey, the Scottish Government requested further analysis whereby those not using each source are excluded from the data. These are included in the figures below. For ease of comparison, these figures are numbered to correspond with the equivalent figure used in the main part of the report. So Figure 3a below corresponds to Figure 3 in the main report.
When excluding those who do not use each source, at least half of those who watch TV (60%), read news websites (59%), or use social media (55%) are seeing information on climate change at least once a week on each respective platform.
Those who listen to the radio (41%) or visit specialist websites (41%) are seeing information on climate change less frequently – only two fifths see it at least once a week.
