Climate change is a problem, but most Czechs do not see it as a personal threat

Czechs recognize climate change as a serious issue, but few see it as an immediate personal threat, according to a study by Institut 2050 prepared for Czech Radio. While there is a strong desire for quick solutions to address the impacts of climate change, such as droughts and floods, many reject one of the main scientific recommendations for mitigating climate change: the Green Deal for Europe. Although most Czechs distrust the Green Deal, the majority support modernizing the country's energy, industry, and transportation sectors, even if they remain attached to combustion engines.
