It’s been said that 2021 was the year when the world turned a corner on climate change. A year when a delayed UN summit coincided with a global pandemic, extreme weather events effected people across the world, a new US President entered the White House and a British Prime Minister was eager to project Global Britain on to an international stage. It’s been a year that has culminated in an agreement that isn’t perfect but that is a big improvement on the last version and a stepping-stone to the next.

With the dust having settled, WA has asked ‘so what?’ What impact did the last several weeks of wall-to-wall coverage have on peoples’ attitude towards climate change and net zero? What could this mean for how government develops policy and how business responds? We conducted a survey of over a thousand people across the country to find out.
