Latest results of the PACE study published

The study regularly takes a psychological look at climate change and, in particular, analyses people's willingness to act on climate protection. "In particular, we look at what people are already doing in terms of climate protection, which measures they are in favour of and why, and whether they perceive climate change as a health risk," explains Professor Cornelia Betsch, Director of the Institute for Planetary Helath Behaviour at the University of Erfurt.

The current findings show: The effectiveness of climate protection measures is an important factor in people's willingness to act. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of political measures is rated as low (and lower than individual climate protection). According to the PACE team, there is a great need for communication here.
