Get Climate Opinion Factsheets for Countries

Public opinion is a key determinant of policy change, especially in democracies. Yet, for people in many countries around the world, climate change is a relatively new idea and involves complex scientific concepts that are unfamiliar. As climate change becomes an increasingly salient issue globally – relevant to public health, economic prosperity, and national security – policy and decision makers, the media, educators, and others need to understand current public levels of climate change awareness and engagement. This Global Factsheets tool, based on our global survey, International Public Opinion on Climate Change, 2023 , provides information about people’s climate change knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, policy preferences, and behaviors in 187 countries and territories worldwide. The opinion data included in these fact sheets are based on a survey of 139,136 Facebook monthly active users, aged 18 and older, and the margin of error for individual countries and territories ranges from 2 to 5 percentage points. Interview dates of the survey were August 3 – September 3, 2023. For more information about the survey question wording and methodology, please visit the associated Climate Note . We hope you find the data and tool useful, and welcome your feedback to help us improve future versions.

FOR GEOGRAPHIC GROUPS ONLY
Results for geographic groups are based on combined data from multiple countries and territories that have smaller populations and/or numbers of Facebook users. Samples from these countries and territories were combined into “group” scores (i.e., Caribbean, Asian and Pacific Islands, and some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa). The complete lists of included countries and territories are included in each group factsheet.
