This year Climate Outreach Network plus YouGov and European Climate Foundation have created a new report and toolkit
'Britain Talks Climate'
For those of you that believe that there are still many climate denialists out there, prepare to be shocked 😉 I found the report to be really heartening and insightful.
The toolkit helps us think about the groups (segments) of people out there. Research includes over COVID times.
