lotsa luck there
“Climate change remains a high priority issue for many Australian voters in 2024, though its relative importance varies across different demographics and political leanings.
## Key Points
- A majority of Australians (57%) view global warming as a serious and pressing problem that should be addressed urgently, even if it involves significant costs[3]. This sentiment has remained relatively steady since 2018.
- There is a significant generational divide, with 73% of Australians aged 18-29 considering climate change a serious issue compared to only 51% of those over 60[3].
- Political leaning strongly influences climate change views, with 71% of Labor supporters calling it a serious problem versus only 29% of Coalition supporters[3].
- Support for specific climate policies like emissions reduction targets, renewable energy subsidies, and hosting UN climate conferences remains strong among the majority, though it has softened slightly compared to 2022[3].
- The 2022 federal election was dubbed the "climate change election" by analysts, reflecting voters' growing demand for stronger climate action[4]. This trend is expected to continue in 2024.
So in summary, while climate change may not be the top issue for all voters, it remains a crucial priority, especially for younger generations and left-leaning voters. Its prominence in the 2024 election will likely depend on the candidates' climate policies and the severity of climate impacts experienced by Australians[2][4].
