Majority think government doing too little on climate change, poll suggests
People take part in a Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion protest in Whitehall, central London

THE majority of the public thinks that the government is doing too little to tackle climate change, a poll suggests.

The survey for aid agency Cafod published today, ahead of international climate talks in Egypt, found that six in 10 people did not think the government is doing enough, while almost half did not think it was committed to its climate goals.

And more than a third thought Britain was not doing enough to support poorer countries tackle climate change, which is an issue that will be a key agenda item at Cop27.
