Actually, a majority are!","Most people wrongly believe that the majority are not worried about climate change.","Source: Lloyd's Register Foundation","This data comes from The Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll. The survey itself was conducted by Gallup in 2019.\n\nThe results of the poll were: 41% of people globally see climate change as a ‘very serious threat’ to their country, with 28% being “somewhat concerned”. This compares to 13% who say climate change is not a threat at all, and nearly one in five people worldwide with no opinion or awareness of the issue.\n\nAccording to the experts we contacted, the Gallup survey data is reliable and trusted amongst experts. The figure of 65% made sense to the experts and also tracked with other polls that both experts mentioned. \n\n[1]  [The Lloyd's Register Foundation World Risk Poll 2019 (chapter 6)](https:\u002F\u002Fwrp.lrfoundation.org.uk\u002FLRF_WorldRiskReport_Book.pdf) \n\n[2]  [Gallup](https:\u002F\u002Fnews.gallup.com\u002Fopinion\u002Fgallup\u002F321635\u002Fworld-risk-poll-reveals-global-threat-climate-change.aspx)\n","Across the world, more than half of people see climate change as a risk. As most people have realized the risk, it's time for action. If politicians believe that few people are worried, then they might not dare to initiate the reforms that are needed. The results of the Gallup poll are a couple of years old and, already then, 41% of people globally saw climate change as a ‘very serious threat’ to their country, with 28% being “somewhat concerned”. That compared to 13% who say climate change is not a threat at all, and nearly one in five people worldwide with no opinion or awareness of the issue. It shows that the majority of people are absolutely aware of the threat climate change poses to the planet's future. \n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\nAn illusion of conflict may stop us from doing what everyone understands must be done to make sure the planet is habitable for many future generations to come.\n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\nThe people who are skeptical about climate change have often been given time to express their views in the media, which might have created a false sense of how common their views are.\n\n### Can I trust this data?\nYes. The two independent experts we contacted about this question said the Gallup survey data is reliable and trusted amongst experts and other polls have shown similar results. The only issue is that it was only conducted in 142 countries and some of the most vulnerable countries to climate change (small island nations) were not polled. However, as one of the experts we contacted said, “However, the dataset does include all of the largest countries by population so it is a fair approximation of global opinion”.\n","Many are worried!","You thought three quarters of people aren’t worried about climate change. Actually, a majority are!","This question was removed and replaced by an updated version, found [here](https:\u002F\u002Fupgrader.gapminder.org\u002Fq\u002F1737). \n\nThe reason we made this change is because we found the global data to be a bit unreliable in poorer countries and felt the coverage of low-and-middle-income countries in this data wasn't sufficient enough to include them in the question. Therefore, we rephrased the question to ask about only how threatened people in high-income countries feel by climate change."]
