Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : After years of foregrounding private investment, public finance was emphasised in the Cop outcome.
58% : In the European parliament, the backlash over the costs of environmental policies may see the Greens lose a quarter of their seats in elections later this year, and benefit far-right nationalists more likely to favour fossil fuels, fewer environmental regulations and less international climate cooperation.
56% : Ahead of the Dubai summit, the UN said that under current policies, global temperatures were on track to rise 2.9C above pre-industrial levels - nearly double the goal cited in the climate summit final declaration.
53% : The UN Conference on Trade and Development estimates that 17 frontier technologies - from artificial intelligence to green hydrogen to biofuels - could create a market of more than $9.5tn by 2030.
52% : A report for the UN has stated that developing countries - excluding China - would need $2.4tn a year.
41% : However, the economics and politics of the G7 and EU in the last decade have militated against the world coming together to solve the existential crisis.
