Over-50s want climate crisis addressed ‘even if it leads to high prices’

Research finds almost two-thirds of older people want UK government to move faster on green initiatives

The majority of over-50s believe the UK government should be doing more to address the climate crisis, even if it leads to higher prices, a study has found.

A survey of more than 500 people aged 50 and over found that almost two-thirds want ministers to move faster on climate initiatives, regardless of whether it meant products and services would be more expensive over time, or more difficult to access.
