Over all 50 countries, 64% of people said that climate change was an emergency \u2013 presenting a clear and convincing call for decision-makers to step up on ambition.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The highest level of support was in Small Island Developing States (74%), followed by high-income countries (72%),middle-income countries (62%), then Least Developed Countries (58%).<\/li><li>Regionally, the proportion of people who said climate change is a global emergency had a high level of support everywhere &#8211; in Western Europe and North America (72%), Eastern Europe and Central Asia (65%), Arab States (64%), Latin America and Caribbean (63%), Asia and Pacific (63%), and Sub-Saharan Africa (61%).<\/li><li>Of the people that said climate change is a global emergency, 59% said that the world should do everything necessary and urgently in response.

There was much stronger belief in the climate emergency among women and girls than men and boys (by more than 10 percentage points) in Australia, Canada, and the United States.
