Carbon Capability survey
This survey uses a nationally representative sample of UK households, and asks over 300 questions relating to climate change and carbon capability. The questions were designed to span key sources of household emissions: energy, transport, food and consumption, as well as other factors which contribute to individuals' carbon capability: influence on others, and citizenship behaviours.
It was conducted in March and April 2022, in two waves due to the large number of questions.
