New research by Energy Systems Catapult has found that while 75% of people believe climate change is a serious threat, they are still unclear as to which activities in their lives emit carbon – with only 49% realising natural gas heating contributes to carbon emissions.

- Perceptions of climate change, its severity and what activity contributes to it
- Attitudes towards low carbon technologies and behaviours in heating, diet and transport
