Communicating and campaigning effectively on climate change is becoming more challenging.

Polarisation and misinformation is rising quickly, while the political consensus on net zero has weakened and floods, heatwaves, and droughts continue to get worse.

In this difficult context, demand for trusted, independent insight remains high, especially among campaigners, communicators, and policy-facing teams.

Climate Barometer tracks UK public and political opinion, making sense of the data story through commentary and analysis that weaves together the national picture with local-level realities.

We’re movement facing. We’re helping a wide range of audiences to use climate opinion with confidence – ensuring the latest insights are easy to find, interpret, and apply quickly in live contexts.

The Team

Climate Barometer is run by climate opinion and communication specialists. We have decades of experience between us in social science research on climate change, working with campaigners, political strategists and decision-makers across the climate movement.
