Public Attitudes towards climate change and the impact of transport
Introduction
This report summarises people's attitudes to climate change in relation to transport. It is based on a survey module included in the Office for National Statistics' Omnibus Survey in August 2006, April 2007, August 2007 and February 2008.
It 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.
