About the Climate Decision Makers Survey
• The Climate Decision Makers Survey is unique. It tracks the views of professionals that are in positions to make or influence large decisions regarding climate change in their organizations and society. It provides an essential ground-up view of the barriers and opportunities facing global society’s response to climate change.
• GlobeScan, in partnership with the World Bank, UNEP, IUCN, IDRC, the World Energy Council, WBCSD, The Centre, ICLEI, and the COM+ Alliance will be conducting regular surveys with climate change decision makers. The results of these studies will be broadly publicized to help guide climate change decision making in all sectors.
• This report analyzes the findings from the second wave of research conducted from November 10, 2008 to December 1, 2008.
Notes to Readers
• Unless otherwise noted, all figures in charts are percentages.
• Totals percentages may not add to 100 because of rounding.
• In the case of bar charts, white space typically represents the portion of experts who either answered “do not know” or did not answer at all (i.e., DK/NA).
