Public Perceptions on Climate Change in Qatar

Climate change is a complex, multifaceted problem involving various interacting systems and actors. It can only be tackled with public support for sustainable policies. Thus, public attitudes towards climate change matter. Over decades of climate change opinion research by various researchers and institutions have provided us with a wealth of information for policymakers. This public survey synthesizes the findings and highlights the different geographies with their perspective and understandings that emerge within this study. Given the increased importance of social media, news networks of climate change skepticism are increasingly being identified. This survey covered a wide range of topics, from climate change to government policies to sources of information. However, this paper will only examine two aspects of the survey result. The survey study provides surprising findings on several issues that will help develop policy interventions that could accelerate the transition to a climate-conscious community and society in Qatar.
