MUMBAI: BBC World News and Synovate, today announced the key findings of the second global opinion survey carried out by the international market research company in conjunction with the international news channel. The 2008 survey, which was carried out across 22 markets on six continents, looks at global attitudes towards climate change.

Areas covered include levels of concern; what people are doing about climate change; and who they believe is responsible. The 2008 results show that respondents‘ attitudes to climate change have shifted since the same survey was conducted last year. This is especially apparent in the United States of America where levels of concern have dramatically increased from 57% in 2007 to 80% this year.

Jeremy Nye, Head of Audience Insight at BBC World News says, "These results reflect what our audiences have been telling us with regard to their levels of concern about global warming. In nearly all markets, citizens believe it is up to ordinary people to change their behaviour; the way in which global issues and personal behaviour are intertwined explains the increasing relevance of international news. BBC World News has commissioned a number of programmes, including What a Waste and Nature Inc., which are currently being broadcast on the channel to satisfy their interest and curiosity."

Steve Garton, Executive Director, Media at Synovate says, "We first conducted this survey in 2007 and saw high levels of concern about climate change across the globe. But it was apparent that education was still needed across all markets. After a year of unprecedented media attention, it seems that extra focus has had an impact. More people than ever are concerned. And more people than ever are doing something about it - awareness is turning into action and people believe their individual efforts can make a difference. There‘s a real ‘it‘s up to me‘ sense of responsibility."
