Our climate crisis: who’s responsible for addressing climate change?

In our recent IET Green Preferences Survey, we asked UK respondents whose responsibility it is to address climate change. UK adults place 23% of total responsibility with their national Government, 16% of this responsibility at the individual level, and 10% on science and technology. Who do you think is responsible for reducing our climate impact?
