Repeated heatwaves, natural disasters, rising water levels… According to a survey by the ObSoCo’s 4th Observatory of “Uses and Representations of Territories”* published this Monday, one in five French people say they are “very worried” about their quality of life in the face of climate change. More than one in two respondents (55%) would like to “live elsewhere”, with 40% of them even ready to change region.
And you, do the effects of climate change influence your long-term plans? Are you thinking about moving or have you given up on the idea of moving to avoid areas where heat waves and bad weather intensify? Are you considering leaving big cities permanently to get cooler? Did you dream of living by the sea but gave it up because your corner of paradise is very exposed to rising water levels? Tell us, your testimony will be used to write an article!
* Survey carried out online via the Bilendi panel, from June 2 to 15, 2023, with a sample of 4,000 people representative of the French population aged 18 to 75, using the quota method.
