Switch on or scroll through any news about the climate crisis, and it quickly becomes overwhelming. With a recent forecast showing that we’re failing to limit global heating to 1.5C, it begins to look like a near impossible task.
However, the global ecological precipice that we stand on has also galvanised the public’s awareness of the need to make changes. A poll in 2021 revealed that across 24 countries, 58% of people are more mindful of their impact on the environment. Furthermore, research by The Climate Coalition found that almost 30% of people would make changes in their daily habits to help address climate change if they saw the government do more.
