One third of Irish population see climate change as a 'real and immediate threat'

The report found that a significant proportion of the audiences most engaged with climate change do not understand that human behaviour is the main cause.

Over a third (34%) of people in Ireland are alarmed about climate change and see it as a real and immediate threat, according to a study from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The study also found that almost half of the population (48%) are “concerned” about climate change and support policies being taken to address it.
