The majority of Cambodians have little understanding of the causes of climate change, due to a lack of information, a new poll has found.
In a survey by the BBC World Service Trust of 2,401 Cambodians from all walks of life, about 85 percent said they had heard of climate change, although they associated it with disease, farming troubles and drought.
Very few respondents connected climate change or global warming with industry or vehicle use, according to the report, “Understanding Public Perception of Climate Change in Cambodia.”
Making them vastly better informed than “97%” of climate scientists.
