The Scottish climate survey 2024

In 2024, the Scottish Government, through ClimateXChange, commissioned Ipsos to conduct a new nationally representative survey of Scottish adults aged 16 and over.

The aim was to generate reliable estimates of Scottish adults’ awareness, understanding and experiences of climate change-related issues.

Findings from the survey are intended to serve multiple policy and public engagement objectives in Scotland. 

The report is published on the Scottish Government website and covers:

• Public views on climate change
• Experience of severe weather events
• Climate change adaptation actions
• Mitigation behaviours
• Transport
• Home energy and heat decarbonisation
• Food and diet
• Nature and the built environment
• Impacts of the transition to net zero
