Level of Concern About Climate Change Among The French 2025

France is worried, just not alarmed. Only 12.6% of French respondents say they are “extremely concerned” about climate change, even as the country faced record-breaking heatwaves and wildfires in 2022 that scorched nearly 72,000 hectares of land. 30.7%, claim to be “very concerned,” while 27.3% remain “moderately concerned,” suggesting a population that acknowledges the crisis but stops short of urgency. 20.8% are just “slightly concerned,” and nearly 9% are not concerned at all, despite France's repeated alerts from the IPCC and the EU Green Deal momentum. This fragmented concern hints at a critical gap between experiencing climate consequences and fully internalizing their long-term impact.
