Climate change in the Indian mind

A report from the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication in collaboration with GlobeScan Incorporated that takes an in-depth look at the public perception of climate change in India. The report is based on a national survey conducted in November and December 2011 of 4,031 Indian adults, using an approximately 75 percent urban and 25 percent rural sample. The study was designed to investigate the current state of public climate change awareness, beliefs, attitudes, policy support, and behavior, as well as public observations of changes in local weather and climate patterns and self-reported vulnerability to extreme weather events.
