“Climate change is seen as a bit less of a significant problem”
That seems shockingly unlikely (5%) - even if we have essentially eliminated all net emissions (10%), we will still be seeing continued warming (99%) unless we have widely embraced geoengineering (10%). If we have, it is a source of significant geopolitical contention (75%) due to uneven impacts (50%) and pressure from environmental groups (90%) worried that it is promoting continued emissions and / or causes other harms. Progress on carbon capture is starting to pay off (70%) but is not (90%) deployed at anything like the scale needed to stop or reverse warming.
Adaptation to climate change has continued (99%), but it is increasingly obvious how expensive it is and how badly it is impacting developing world. The public still seems to think this is the fault of current emissions (70%) and carbon taxes or similar legal limits are in place for a majority of G7 countries (50%) but less than half of other countries (70%).
