Results of the WECF network poll on energy and climate change
Although the return of the questionnaires was dissatisfying (we got only 17 filled question-naires back) the results show clearly that there is a high level of awareness about the need for energy saving and climate protection, but anyhow a request for more information on envi-ronmental and social impacts of energy production / consumption and social impacts of cli-mate change in general. Especially information and knowledge on gender issues in these areas are lacking. More information is needed also about EU policy on energy and climate change as well as on negotiations at UN level.
