Looking for new ideas
Around a third of those polled by NESTA thought time to find a solution to the problem of climate change is running out, with almost half claiming individual action is not enough and that fresh thinking on the issue is required.
The research further suggests as many as 17 million people in Britain would be willing to work with others to combat global warming, with two-thirds believing it is everybody’s responsibility to take action. Charities (42%) and scientists (28%) were the groups rated most highly for their current efforts to tackle climate change.
