Tracker data: Public dissatisfaction with politicians’ handling of climate

Large sections of the public, from across political lines say that UK politicians’ handling of climate change has been more incompetent than competent, more indecisive than decisive, and more out of touch with the public than in touch with the public.

This data was collected in April 2024, following a period of delays to net zero and climate action, with Labour removing its 28 billion green spending target – and prior to that, the rollback of net zero policies by the Conservative party in September.
