Rising costs and acute financial struggles are the dominant concern in opinion polls. How has the cost-of-living crisis impacted the discourse on climate change and net zero?
Climate change provokes a range of strong and sometimes conflicting emotions. How do people feel about climate change, and how do these feelings relate to thoughts and actions on climate?
A managed transition away from oil and gas extraction in the North Sea is an inevitable part of reaching net zero. But how fast this transition happens will depend on political will and public opinion.
Public opinion on renewables – including local developments – is as positive as ever. MPs’ opinions continues to be out of sync. But is this gap closing or widening as the roll out of green energy infrastructure accelerates?

Clean air zones improve air quality, and influence urban travel choices. How is public opinion and political support influencing where and how these changes to our cities take shape?
Recent years have seen a rapid rise in new climate change protest groups. How have these protests been received? And how do people perceive climate protesters?
Politicians don’t always have an accurate impression of public opinion on climate change: what’s driving these misperceptions (and misrepresentations)?

Around 60% of the emissions reductions required to reach net zero will involve behaviour change and public consent. What changes are people already making to their behaviours – and which ones remain more contentious?
