Survey on Climate Change and Climate Policy in Australia

The purpose of this survey is to map climate policy views in Australia. We are aiming to survey the key actors involved in Australian climate policy debates. You have been chosen to represent this group and it is very important to hear your views so that different sectors of society are represented correctly.

 

The survey is a part of an international research project, ‘Comparing Climate Change Policy Networks’ (COMPON), conducted in several countries. In Australia the Climate, Society and Environment Research Centre (C-SERC) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is responsible for data collection and analysis.

 

The survey replicates a 2014 survey, allowing us to track how views on climate policy have changed. The results of the survey will be reported at a general level, identifying organizations only by sector and type. The personal identity of individual survey respondents will be kept confidential.

 

The survey has three parts: 1. Views on climate change, 2. Views on the role of organizations in climate debates, and 3. Policy recommendations. In addition, there are some background questions. It takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. You can go back to previous pages in the survey and update existing responses until the survey is finished or until you have exited the survey. After submitting the survey, you will not be able to update existing responses. The results of the survey will be reported in academic articles and to help inform policy change at national and international levels.

 

The survey has been approved by the UTS Research Ethics Committee (approval number ETH23-8619, August 2023). Submission of the completed survey is indication of consent. A summary of the aggregate results will be available on request.

 

Project research assistant, Ms Tina Brahimzadeh, is conducting the survey. For further information, please contact James Goodman:
