Seven out of ten are worried about future generations and almost half worry about how their own future will be affected, according to WWF's climate barometer 2025. The largest increase is among younger men.
An ambitious climate policy has broad support, the survey shows. Just over half, 53 percent, believe that politicians have the greatest responsibility for stopping climate change. Seven out of ten also believe that the government should do more. Just as many think it is important to restore damaged nature in Sweden.
Those surveyed in the study see public transportation as an important piece of the puzzle for driving climate transformation. In rural areas, a majority of young people believe that "better and more frequent public transportation" is most important. Even those living in cities see public transportation as the most important area to invest in.
The climate is also one of the things Swedes worry about most in general. 53 percent say they worry about climate change, more than those who worry about organized crime. Only war and conflicts rank higher, with 66 percent.
WWF has conducted the climate barometer annually since 2017. 2,016 people aged 18-79 were interviewed in this year's survey.
