Ipsos Update - May 2021

Here is a list of the content you’ll find in May’s Ipsos Update:

Earth Day 2021: In what is supposed to be a “super year” for international environmental policy, we find a widespread lack of public confidence that governments have a plan in place to tackle climate change. Two 30-country surveys reveal attitudes to climate change action as well as misperceptions around the actions that have the most impact on the environment.

What Worries the World?: Climate change doesn’t make it onto the list of the most worrying issues in our 28-country survey. Rather, Covid-19 remains the top concern.

South Korea: Our 2021 edition of Ipsos Flair, “Leading the Way”, presents an in-depth view of public opinion and consumer trends in a country that looks to have escaped some of the worst impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. See the full report or the 10 key points.
