Public Attitudes towards climate change and the impact of transport
Introduction
This report summarises people's attitudes to climate change in relation to transport. The questions were first asked in the August 2006 National Statistics Omnibus Survey and repeated in April and August 2007. The report covers the following issues:
- levels of concern about the environment and climate change;
- knowledge about the causes of climate change, including the contribution of transport;
- knowledge about the consequences of climate change and views on the potential for behavioural change to reduce the impacts;
- levels of support for a range of policy options to reduce transport emissions and the extent to which concern about climate change has the potential to influence travel behaviour.
