Germans uncertain of policy efforts to combat climate change
21 June 2007
The first annual World Environment Review, organized by Australian environmentalist John Dee and powered by GMI, was launched this month. In the fourth of a ten-part series highlighting specific findings of interest for the polled nations, we take a look at Germany.
- More than 27 percent of Germans think that U.S. Government policy on climate change is the biggest threat to the world’s climate.
- A third of Germans believe that governments, institutions, and political leaders hold the power to make a real difference on climate change, but only 13 percent believe they are the most likely to help humanity find and adopt workable solutions.
- Roughly 40 percent believe that a united combination of efforts from politicians, scientists, the business community, and individual consumers will produce the best results.
- Of Germany’s main political leaders, only 14 percent find Angela Merkel, Germany’s Chancellor, the most trustworthy on environmental issues.
