Key Points

Nearly eight in ten (78%) respondents agreed with the statement 'Climate change is the single most pressing issue facing my generation.' 83% of climate change activists believe climate change is the most pressing issue, and 77% of first responders and developers agree with this statement.

Three quarters of respondents agree that not enough is being done to combat climate change. Nearly six in ten (59%) Colombian respondents strongly agree that not enough is being done to combat climate change, and 56% of Spanish respondents strongly agree with this statement.

87% of respondents feel it is very or somewhat important that a potential employer has taken action on climate change. 88% of developers and first responders said it was very or somewhat important that a potential employer has taken action on climate change. 85% of respondents said they were interested in working on projects to help solve climate change. 84% of first responders said they would be interested, and 86% of developers said they would be interested in working on projects to help solve climate change.

When looking at which technologies will make the most difference in solving climate change, over half (55%) of respondents think artificial intelligence will make the most difference, and almost half (48%) think data analytics will make the most difference, followed by 29% who think 5G/Edge computing or Internet-of-Things (IoT) will make the most difference.

Almost eight in ten (79%) respondents agree that climate change is something that can be reduced or combatted with technology, and 40% strongly agree. Over seven in ten (72%) agree that advances in mobile/5G/edge computing will be valuable in developing solutions to address climate change.

This poll was conducted between January 24-February 7, 2020 among an international sample of 3202 individuals, including 2,566 developers, 922 first responders, and 2,028 climate change activists. The interviews were conducted online. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points for developers and climate change activists, and plus or minus 3 percentage points for first responders. Margins of error will vary for country- or demographic-specific cuts.
