Over half think that the transition to a green economy should be sped up (58%) in the face of energy price spikes and concerns over gas supplies after Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine. From an economic perspective, 73% of Europeans agree that the\u202fcost of damage due to climate change is much higher than the investment needed for a green transition. And three quarters (75%) of Europeans agree that taking action on climate will lead to innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Support for emissions reductions, renewables and energy efficiency<br \/>\nAlmost nine in ten EU citizens (88%) agree that greenhouse gas\u202femissions should be reduced to a minimum,\u202fwhile offsetting the remaining emissions to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050. Close to nine in ten Europeans (87%) think it is important that the EU sets ambitious targets to\u202fincrease renewable energy use, and a similar number (85%) believe that it is important for the EU to take action to improve energy efficiency, for example by encouraging people to insulate their home, install solar panels or buy electric cars. Seven in ten respondents (70%) believe that reducing fossil fuel imports can increase energy security and benefit the EU economically.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens committed to individual action and structural reform<br \/>\nA large majority of\u202fEU citizens are already taking individual climate action\u202f(93%) and consciously making sustainable choices in their daily lives. However, when asked who is responsible for tackling climate change,\u202fcitizens\u202funderlined the need for other reforms\u202fto accompany individual action, pointing also to the responsibility of national governments (56%), the EU (56%) and business and industry (53%).<\/p>\n<p>European citizens also feel the threat of climate change in their daily lives. On average, over a third of Europeans feel personally exposed to environmental and climate-related risks and threats, with more than half feeling this way in 7 Member States, mostly in Southern Europe but also in Poland and Hungary. 84% of Europeans agree that tackling climate change and environmental issues should be a priority to improve public health, while 63% of those surveyed agree that preparing for the impacts of climate change can have positive outcomes for EU citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/EUnews\">European Commission<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/eurobarometer-majority-of-europeans-consider-that-the-green-transition-should-go-faster\/\">Eurobarometer: Majority of Europeans consider that the green transition should go faster<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2562,2605,970,972,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-115576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-europeans","tag-faster","tag-green","tag-transition","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
