Public perceptions can play a key role in either driving or hindering reform efforts. For the Asia-Pacific Climate Report 2024, ADB surveyed about 13,500 residents across 14 Asian economies. The survey aimed to understand public views on climate change, awareness of government actions, preferences for adaptation and resilience investments, and factors influencing support for climate policies.
 

A panel of experts discussed the significance of these findings in raising awareness and building public support for climate action. These insights were valuable guide for policymakers in their efforts to mitigate, adapt to, and reduce climate change impacts.
