2024 summary & recommendations

The 2024 Britain Talks Climate research indicates strong, cross-demographic support for government leadership in tackling climate change and nature loss. While people are hopeful about the prospect of government investment, there is significant anxiety regarding the personal costs of transition and a feeling of being uninformed. The report recommends that the UK government lead a collective national effort, ensure the transition is fair and affordable—particularly for low-income households—and implement a national public engagement strategy to build trust and normalize clean energy technologies like heat pumps.

• There is widespread and enduring support for tackling climate change and protecting nature across all demographics and segments of the British population.
• The public views climate leadership as the primary responsibility of the government and sees government action and investment as a source of hope, despite skepticism regarding the current government's record.
• Individuals fear being isolated in the face of climate change and are concerned that the costs of the transition may be unaffordable or unfairly distributed.
• Renewable energy and heat pumps enjoy strong support, with familiarity and direct experience increasing public enthusiasm for wider roll-out.
• A significant portion of the public feels overlooked and uninformed about the transition, particularly those in 'disengaged' segments who feel excluded from the climate conversation.
