The study “Unequal Response: Linked Opinion and Climate Data for More Targeted Policy Advice” provides new insights into how climate data affect political and social responses. This research was prepared by Anne-Kathrin Stroppe, Sarah Brockmeier-Large, Christina Eder, Henrike Jansen, Alexia Katsanidou, Stefan Kroll, and Alexandra von Vultejus and is published within the “PRIF Spotlight” series.

The study addresses how climate-related data and citizen opinions can be harnessed more effectively to guide policy and highlights discrepancies in responses among different societal groups. This analysis serves as a call to policymakers to consider these factors when designing climate-related political strategies.
