New Zealanders' views on climate change

Sixty-nine percent of nearly 20,000 men and women surveyed across 28 countries say they have modified their consumer behaviour out of concern about climate change. But while two out of three New Zealanders say they have modified their behaviour out of concern about climate change; they are no more likely than the global average to have done so.

Despite New Zealanders' pride in their country’s clean green image, and our Ipsos Issues Monitor showing New Zealanders are becoming more concerned about the environment, New Zealanders are no more likely than the average global citizen to have changed behaviours to help combat climate change.
