Survey on obstacles and enablers for ambitious climate policies

We seek to enhance our understanding of the socio-political factors shaping the development and implementation of ambitious climate policies. Therefore, we invite you to consider your national context, identifying the key barriers that currently impede progress as well as enablers that can be leveraged in the near term to accelerate climate action.

 

This survey, which was first presented during the 4th ELEVATE International Stakeholder Workshop, consists of 6 questions and should take around 5 minutes to complete.
