Public and communities
Survey of the public on factors affecting their mental health including climate change and future pandemics.
More than four in five (84%) think that climate and ecological emergencies will be a concern in 10 years’ time, and equally view pandemics like COVID-19 (83%), the economy (84%), and unemployment (83%) as future concerns. Comparatively, less than two thirds (59%) believe Brexit will be a concern in 10 years.
Just one fifth (22%) think climate and ecological emergencies were a contributing factor to the global outbreak of COVID-19 whereas two fifths (40%) do not – although a significant minority say ‘maybe’ (29%).
