17:18
According to the second edition of the European Investment Bank (EIB) survey conducted in cooperation with BVA, as many as 41% of Poles surveyed claim that climate change is irreversible, and its most disturbing manifestation is "air pollution".
“In general, the survey results confirm that there is a widespread fear of climate change among Poles. As many as 86% of respondents note the impact of this phenomenon on their daily lives, and more than half (51%) rank 'climate change' among the most serious challenges. However, it should be noted that this issue was raised much less frequently than 'problems with access to health care and services', which are the biggest concern for 74% of respondents,” EIB stated.
Despite the great awareness of the effects of climate change, Poles are among Europe's largest skeptics when it comes to the possibility of counteracting this phenomenon. 41% of respondents believe that it is irreversible, which is a result of 8 percentage points higher than the European average. The situation is more often considered by representatives of the younger generation.
