Gradul de pregătire a populației și disponibilitatea acesteia de a sprijini inițiativele pentru tranziția verde a Republicii Moldova: Raport de țară
Summary
The report finds that while 61% of Moldovans describe their knowledge of climate change as 'good' or 'very good', there is a significant gap between this perception and actual engagement. Public priorities for environmental protection focus on water access and waste management, while energy security is a major concern, with 65% of respondents worried about dependence on external energy sources. Support for the green transition is highest for corporate sustainability and renewable energy, though high costs remain a primary barrier to the adoption of renewable energy in households.
Key insights
- A majority of the population perceives their understanding of climate change as sufficient, with 61% describing their knowledge as "bune" (40%) or "foarte bune" (21%). This perceived knowledge is highest among those aged 35-44 and those with doctoral degrees, where 83% evaluate their understanding as "bună".

- The most urgent environmental priorities for the population are access to clean water and sewerage, followed by improving waste management and reducing transport emissions. Deterioration of food quality is cited as the most acute daily environmental problem (59-69% depending on residence).

- Energy costs are a major concern, with gas being the primary worry (44%), followed by electricity (29%). Only 14% of households use renewable energy, with the main barrier being cost (58%).
- There is high anxiety regarding energy security, with 65% of the population worried about dependence on external energy sources. The most supported solution for increasing independence is the development of solar and wind energy (70%).
- Corporate sustainability initiatives receive the highest public support, while NGO projects receive the least. The primary obstacles to supporting such initiatives are indifference or lack of responsibility (72%) and lack of financial resources (66%).
