PARIS, Feb 17 — People who live in a favourable economic environment, with a relatively high standard of living and low inflation, tend to have more concern for environmental issues than those facing a more complex economic context, according to recent research. For many people, financial concerns can overshadow climate change issues.
According to the study, Europeans who live in a favourable economic context, with relatively high income levels and low inflation, tend to be concerned about environmental issues. People who don’t have to worry about financial insecurity are more likely to care about less immediate issues, like the environment. In other words, we can’t worry about too many things at once and have to prioritise.
