Public support for action on climate change is rebounding despite political uncertainty, according to survey results released today by The Climate Institute.
According to the poll, 65% of Australians think the nation should take a leadership position and 77% agree that climate change is happening, up from 70% in 2015.
The Climate Institute’s chief executive, John Connor, said that “public support on renewable energy and climate change is the strongest it’s been since 2008”.
