The 2024 U.S. election appears to be a defeat for climate regulation, but that doesn’t mean it is time to give up. Voters around the world overwhelmingly support stronger environmental regulation, according to a United Nations Development Program survey published in June, 2024.
Four out of five people around the world (80 percent) want more climate action from their country. They also seek global unity in responding to the crisis, with 86 percent agreeing that their countries should set aside geopolitical differences, such as those regarding trade and security, and work together on climate change. The survey revealed support for stronger climate action in 20 of the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters, but majorities range from 66 percent in the United States and Russia, to 67 percent in Germany, 73 percent in China, 77 percent in South Africa and India, 85 percent in Brazil, 88 percent in Iran and up to 93 percent in Italy.
