Poles ready to make sacrifices in the name of fighting the climate crisis

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) climate report, issued in early August, for the first time so clearly and emphatically confirms that it is human activity that is responsible for heating the planet. According to scientists, global warming is accelerating, and without rapid and radical measures, it will exceed the safe threshold of 1.5˚C in the next two decades. Poles see this problem and are ready to make sacrifices to counteract it. 42 percent of respondents declare that they are ready to take pro-ecological actions, even if it will entail additional costs, the March report prepared for innogy showed.

"Science – although it is usually quite cautious in its estimates – now clearly says that the climate crisis is caused by the rise in temperature. In turn, greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity are responsible for this increase," Małgorzata Rychlik, Communications & Engagement Coordinator in Climate Reality Project Europe, said.

According to 97.5 percent of climatologists, the climate crisis is a very serious problem and there is no doubt that it was caused by man, the last year's report "Earthmen Attack", prepared by Kantar Polska, the Twenties Agency, and United Nations Global Compact Network Poland, showed.

The environmental awareness of society is also growing. 83 percent of Poles agree with the reports of scientists and the media regarding the climate crisis, and only one in ten consider them exaggerated.
