The issue of climate change will be one of the main topics at the European elections in June, but a new survey suggests that voters in Europe won't be turning their backs on green policies.
Researchers surveyed 15,000 people in France, Germany, and Poland on how they feel about climate change, asking them about 40 specific policies to find out which were the most and least popular, the Hill reports.
While 60% of people in France, Germany, and Poland say they're already negatively impacted by climate change or expect to be in the next five to 10 years, 30% in Germany and Poland say they're against more ambitious climate action, while 23% in France say they're against it.
"Taking common armchair diagnoses about a green backlash at face value would be a mistake," the report's authors write.
"A European election campaign in which parties try to outbid each other over who scales down their climate ambitions the most would simply misdiagnose where voters stand on the issue," they write.
Instead, the authors say that focusing on stronger green investment and industrial policies like subsidies to help energy-intensive industries decarbonize or produce clean energy tech like wind turbines and solar panels would be popular.
