The latest Climate Barometer tracker shows some changes in how the public are engaging in pro-climate personal actions.

More people also report having improved their home insulation (+5%), installed solar panels (+4%), bought local products and reduce food waste (+4%), signed petitions (+4%) and driven electric cars instead of petrol or diesel cars (+3%).
Fewer people report recycling and reducing plastic use (-16%). On other measures, there has been little visible change.
