Climate Citizens
@climatecitizens.bsky.social
The Climate Citizens Research Group works with a wide group of stakeholders, including government, businesses and environmental groups, to promote greater citizen engagement in climate issues, and climate policymaking.
The policies the public designed demonstrate deep concern about climate change and low trust in the government taking meaningful action.

We also found the most supported policies - the ‘low hanging fruit’ and least controversial in implementing, so long as key concerns are taken into account.

3️⃣An outright advertising ban on high-carbon products and services, whilst being the least popular policy option, was still more popular than doing nothing and keeping things as they are.

This research summary outlines the key policies a citizen jury created to match their concern about the advertising of high-carbon products and services. These policy options were then presented to 2000 adults in the UK via a poll to assess their level of support for these different options.

Our research has found that people are deeply concerned about climate change, but governments have a poor track record of engaging the public and so trust is low. 2/5
