Environment

New report focuses on the convergence between consumer perceptions of health and the environment, particularly in the food and beverage industry.

Three-quarters of adults globally have at least some awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals.

One in seven say they would pay more for travel with lower carbon footprint than airplanes.

Younger, more educated consumers are more willing to use lower carbon-footprint alternatives to air travel.

One in five say it’s the company that produces goods’ responsibility to reduce packaging.

Most are more willing to take personal actions to cut down waste, but are skeptical of policy actions.

Around the globe, people are more likely to think that their access to healthy and quality food will increase in the future, but that it will come at a price, according to a new Global Advisor survey from Ipsos. Those surveyed are more than twice as likely to say that the costs of food will get worse in the future than believe it will improve.

In 2017-2018, Ipsos and the Water & Development Alliance (WADA) conducted a study to map the hypothesized direct gendered impacts (“women and water”) and the pathways to indirect empowerment impacts (“the ripple effect”) of water programming, and to collect primary data to assess whether these hypotheses can be supported.

87% of the world agrees that the world climate is changing; 80% are concerned about the environmental impact of product waste.
