Spotlight - How people of colour experience and engage with climate change in Britain. Topline findings from a national survey conducted in March 2022

This report presents analysis of data collected in March 2022 as part of Project Spotlight from a survey which was designed by Charles Ogunbode and Jeremy Kidwell to capture climate change-related experiences, perceptions, emotions, actions and policy preferences among UK people of colour. The report was written by Dr Charles Ogunbode (University of Nottingham), Nick Anim, Dr Jeremy Kidwell (University of Birmingham), Dr Amiera Sawas and Serayna Solanki. We are grateful for input on instrument design, writing and analysis from the project steering group: Zarina Ahmad (University of Manchester), Sara Jane Nii-Adjei (Christian Aid), Meena Rajput (Greenpeace), Reuben Fakoya-Brooks (REED Ecological Network/British Ecological Society) and Dr Neema Begum (University of Nottingham). We would also like to thank Rebecca Hughes and Laura Mitchell for assistance with data analysis.

The research was funded by a Research England QR-PSF award made through the University of Birmingham.
