Polling – Bushfire crisis and concern about climate change

The Australia Institute’s Climate of the Nation is the longest running research project on attitudes towards climate change in Australia. In January 2020, the Australia Institute commissioned a bushfire update. A nationally representative survey of over 1000 Australians was conducted by YouGov from 8-12 January 2020. The survey asked about direct experience of bushfires and smoke over the last three months, and about climate change concerns and attitudes.
