Environment of greater concern than housing or terrorism – UK poll

Concerns over climate crisis growing among British public, poll findings reveal

Protecting the environment has overtaken affordable housing and the threat of terrorism in the British public's policy priorities over the last eight months, polling has revealed.

Polling by BritainThinks, commissioned by Engage Britain, found that concern about the climate crisis has risen at roughly the same rate for all age groups, and has emerged as the single most important issue for young people. It comes as the activist group Extinction Rebellion is due to stage another round of protests expected to bring parts of the country to a standstill.
