Accelerated action on energy savings and the scrapping of fossil fuel subsidies are the two top actions needed to combat climate change and spur economic recovery.
The findings of this survey of climate decision makers in the private, public and civil society sectors underline their overwhelming view that combating climate change is a pro-growth, pro-economic recovery policy.
Three-quarters (73%) of the 1,000 experts surveyed agree that “equitable economic growth and development and significant progress in combating climate change can be achieved at the same time.” Only 11 percent disagree.
The overall findings from professionals across 115 countries who make or influence climate decisions will be presented today in Poznan, Poland at the UN Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change.1
