November 2022 states that eight people are concerned about climate change. This is the highest rate measured since the first research in 2018. While the anxiety level does not show a significant change in accordance with lifestyle or religious beliefs, the level of education increases the level of concern. At the same time, 78 percent of those participating in research indicate that climate change occurs as a result of human activities. Only 2 percent of the society think that climate change is nothing.

Environmental policies affect one game from each three people
This year, added to the survey, “Does the parties/days affect the environment/Iklim/Energy policies? One of the three people responded to the party ‘Activated’ response.

]Orman losses important factor[
Two of the three people see the cause of climate change as forest losses. The level of concern against climate change seems to be high even if they are in the middle. 40 percent of the people who are viewed indicate the climate change of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal. 33 percent of participants express the causes of coal thermal power plants to climate change. What to do against the ‘Turkish climate change in the last three researches?’ answer to the question is the highest level; ‘Protect green areas’. The most prominent option in individual struggle is to sew trees. Secondly, the demand for using electricity generated from the sun and wind. In recent years without noticeing the level of education, lifestyle and dynamism.

When the answers are examined according to the settlement of people, they want to build solar and wind investment. The energy plants that people who have seen are going to be the most common; while nuclear energy and coal thermal power plants, the most preferred energy sources are solar and wind. At the same time, 76 percent of the society states that ‘No more coal mines should be opened,” instead of ‘negot to prefer energy resources that are less damaging to the environment’ the ratio of the people goes to 79 percent in the last year.

True; “The Turkish people do not deny the presence of climate change (98 on the earth); thinks that climate change is with human influence (78 on the earth); concerns climate change (83 on the earth). And these proportions are growing regularly every year. ‘Do you want to be part of such people?’ said, make sure that you can jump over the US or German climate activist. But on the other hand, the thermal power plant is still built in this country; the most valuable forests to remove a qualityless coal such as linyit to use in thermal power plants are owed to the destruction; the reaction given to these level of awareness is very limited.
