Veolia has published its second Barometer of Ecological Transformation, in partnership with the Elabe consulting and research firm.
Facing the climate and ecological wall, public debate has entered a new phase. Aware of environmental risks to their health and quality of life, populations around the world are demanding action.
Existing solutions are widely accepted, but strategies to implement them struggle to structure on common grounds.

Global insight from 26 countries across five continents
The Ecological Transformation Barometer spans 26 countries across five continents, representing a sample of over half the world's population.
These countries were selected for their demographic significance and relevance, including those on the front lines of climate change and pioneers in ecological policies.
The purpose of the Ecological Transformation Barometer is to enable the assessment of the global and local acceptability of existing ecological solutions, uncovering the barriers and drivers that influence their implementation.
It is an informative study that advances the debate and enhances our understanding of how to achieve ecological transformation.
The first findings of the barometer
The impact of climate change on people
of the world's inhabitants feel exposed and vulnerable to a risk related to climate change or pollution
feel exposed and vulnerable to a health risk (including 64% being in poorer health and 58% having mental health problems)
The need to change to improve daily life
of the world’s inhabitants are certain the costs of the consequences of climate disruption are going to be greater than the investments needed for ecological transformation
believe that a solution that promotes the preservation of their health would motivate them to change their habits or to accept a slightly higher cost.
Decarbonize, depollute and regenerate resources
are ready to pay more for water to eliminate micropollutants and reduce health risks
are ready for drinking water from recycled wastewater to reduce the risk of water shortages
are ready to pay a little more for energy that is produced locally from non-recyclable waste and biomass to secure the region's energy supply
are ready to pay more for food clean up, protect agricultural soil and reduce health risks
Concrete solutions exist!
