New Survey of Experts: Bleak Assessment of Progress to Date on Climate Change
More than half of sustainability experts surveyed (55%) think that the global community is not moving fast enough to avert major damage from climate change and fewer than one-third of respondents believe that we are making good progress on implementing the global framework according to the findings of a new report “The 2017 Climate Survey: Evaluating Progress on Climate Change” by GlobeScan and SustainAbility.
The launch of these survey findings coincides with the United Nations hosting its 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) annual climate change conference in Bonn, Germany – the first one taking place since US President Donald Trump took office.
They have asked almost 400 global experts representing business, government, NGOs and academia across 55 countries to evaluate progress on addressing climate change generally, and specifically on implementing the Paris Agreement.
Progress is seen as limited, with only 3 percent of global respondents sharing the view that society is on track toward implementing the global framework signed in 2015.
