The report surveyed 30,000 people in 28 countries and was published ahead of the Global Climate Strike last weekend, and it showed that Malaysians generally agree with the worldview that drastic changes need to be made to avoid the impact of climate change and that governments are not doing enough about it.
On the impact of climate change, 83% of Malaysians believe it will most likely lead to cities being lost to rising sea levels, 80% believe that it will cause serious damage to the global economy and 73% believe that it will cause mass displacement of people. The Malaysians surveyed said international bodies like the United Nations, governments from wealthy and developing countries, as well as businesses and industries are equally responsible for the current situation.
Despite the gloomy outlook, the survey found that the public is hopeful that the impact of climate change can be averted as 68% of Malaysian respondents said the worst effects of climate change could be avoided through drastic changes, while 19% believe that the current action being carried out is sufficient.
