Poles Still Want to Improve the Green Deal
11:04
Poles are not indifferent to climate change and expect action from the government and the European Union. It is crucial for them that climate policy is not implemented at the expense of other priorities, but rather helps to achieve them.
As many as 89 percent of Poles believe that the climate is changing, and fear of climate crisis is becoming an increasingly common experience. Over 70 percent of respondents express concerns about the future of the climate. As a result, over half (57 percent) of respondents believe climate action is needed now to avoid the worst consequences. This is according to research conducted by IPSOS and Opinia24.
There are, however, serious doubts about the effectiveness of the EU's actions and plans so far. In particular, the European Green Deal has received criticism – 72 percent of respondents believe it will do more harm than good in its current form. It is still considered a sound investment of public funds by 62 percent of Poles, regardless of the controversy surrounding the Green Deal.
