Climate: which countries are most worried?

In view of the UN climate summit this weekend, a global survey was conducted by Yougov on the perception of climate risk. Asian countries are much more aware and worried about global warming than Europeans.

Which countries are most aware of the climate emergency?
A major global survey was conducted just one week away from the UN climate summit in New York and the results are very surprising.

The YouGov Institute surveyed 32,000 people in 28 countries on these climate issues.
In the most climate-conscious countries, Scandinavia was expected to be Sweden (the country of Greta Thunberg, which has become the global leader in the fight against global warming).
Conversely, in the least committed countries, countries such as India, China or Vietnam were expected to see economic growth issues outweigh the climate issues.

This is exactly the opposite according to the study of the YouGov Institute.

To the question "Do you think that global warming will have an impact in your everyday life", the least worried and relaxed countries are the Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. In these four countries, less than one in two people are worried about their daily lives.
It is in these same countries (with the United States) that we find the most climate-skeptics. On average there are twice as many septic-septic systems in Europe as in Asia, 10% in Norway versus only 3% in China.

How to explain that this ecological awareness is much more developed in Asia than in Europe?

There are two reasons. The first is that many of these Asian countries are already victims of climate change with rising water, typhoons or pollution. It is therefore difficult to deny the phenomenon.
Then, in Western democracies, the climate issue has sometimes become a political issue. In the United States, for example, Donald Trump hysterized the debate. As a result, 30% of Republican voters are climate-skeptical.

But the good news is that Asian countries are very aware of the climate emergency and it is obviously a very strong lever for action at a week of the World Climate Summit in New York.
