Brussels – Droughts, fires, mudslides, and floods: when it comes to\u00a0addressing bad weather and climate, Italians give the Meloni government a failing grade, as\u00a0they consider it inattentive and even less effective\u00a0in preventing, mitigating, and managing\u00a0climate change risks. This is the opinion of 75 percent of the Italians interviewed by Eurobarometer<\/strong> between February and March this year for the special thematic survey. So,\u00a0for three out of four Italians, the national government<\/strong> “hasn’t done enough<\/strong>” to tackle\u00a0increasingly frequent climate-related phenomena<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The\u00a0Italian figure is a rebuke of\u00a0the Meloni government, considering that compared to responses to the same question between May and June 2023,\u00a0belief in the ineffectiveness of the national executive’s action has increased by one percentage point<\/strong>. Moreover, Italians’ skepticism is higher than the European average (in the EU it is 67 percent, on average, say that little is being done at\u00a0the national level against climate change) and the fifth most disliked in Europe after Sweden and France (77 percent), Greece and Croatia (76 percent).<\/p>\n

Italians implicitly call for a more attentive government, as they widely believe that it is the national government that is in a privileged position to manage and govern the challenge of climate change (71 percent) compared to other actors, such as the European Union (66 percent). It is precisely why\u00a0the overwhelming majority of respondents (91 percent) would like to be well-prepared<\/strong> at the national level to respond to the challenges posed by climate change and its increasingly problematic trend.<\/p>\n

Finally, a message that applies to both the government and the EU: Italians are willing to change cars and switch to electric if there are public incentives, but only as long as these are taken away from traditional fossil fuels and redirected\u00a0to what is clean and helpful in responding to the emissions at the root of climate change (86 percent).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
