The COVID-19 crisis has shown that people were willing to accept strong government measures, like mandatory masking and travel restrictions, to combat the pandemic, and people seem open to such practices being applied in the context of climate change. 70% of Europeans and 95% of Chinese respondents would be in favour of stricter government measures, forcing the population to change its behaviour to fight climate change. Even in the US, where climate deniers are loudest, this figure is 67%, illustrating a desire for action that tackles climate change.
