Climate and Energy Opinion Data
2035 Initiative Faculty actively partner with a national and international network of public opinion scholars to measure, visualize and communicate about climate and energy opinions in innovative ways.
The 2035 Initiative Team, with support from the Preston-Werner Foundation, and in partnership with researchers at Yale, Georgetown, Utah State and the University of Copenhagen, will release the first global maps of climate concern in Fall 2022. Using a new dataset of over 3 million survey responses from around the world, our interactive webtool will visualize climate concern in over 140 countries and 2000 subnational regions on every continent. Updates are planned each Fall for a decade.
The first high resolution map of global climate concern.
Our faculty led a project in partnership with Yale and Utah State to map climate opinions among Democratic and Republic voters down to congressional level geographies.
Mapping partisan climate opinions across the country.
The first comprehensive survey of climate-vulnerable populations in the Arctic and small island states.
The most climate-vulnerable parts of the world have rarely - if ever - been included in global survey work on climate change. The result is that the voices of communities on the front-line of global climate change have been missing from climate research and analysis. The 2035 Initiative Team is currently leading a major effort to survey representative samples in 25+ small island countries and 10+ Arctic regions on climate change and climate adaptation policies.
High resolutions maps of US climate and energy opinion.
Produced in partnership with the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and Utah State University, our faculty publish annual maps of US climate and energy opinions at national, state, congressional district, metro area and county scales.
In partnership with researchers at the Université of Montrèal, Yale, and Utah State, we produce regularly updated maps of Canadian climate opinion at the national, provincial and federal riding levels.
High resolution maps of Canadian climate opinion.
Tracking Canadian attitudes towards carbon pricing over time.
In partnership with researchers at the Université de Montrèal and the University of British Columbia, we are following a representative group of Canadians through time as they navigate carbon pricing policies, including the country’s innovative carbon tax and rebate program.
