European poll shows falling public faith in EU green policies

A new international poll reveals that voters across Europe remain worried about climate change but are losing faith in official green policies, Euronews reported. The survey shows a growing public frustration with the financial costs associated with the green transition. [1]

According to Euronews, the survey was commissioned by Mandate Research, a research and strategy consultancy based in the United Kingdom. European governments are currently trying to balance ambitious environmental targets against public pressure to lower household energy bills. [1]

Modern climate change includes ongoing global warming caused mainly by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial practices. These activities release greenhouse gases that raise lower atmosphere temperatures, with carbon dioxide levels now roughly 50 percent higher than in the past. [2]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, European Union ministers plan to argue at the COP31 climate summit in Turkey that transitioning to clean energy will strengthen energy security and lower reliance on foreign suppliers. [4]
