Abstract
This global survey explores public understanding of climate justice and its influence on climate action and policy support. The study, involving 5,627 adults across 11 countries, reveals that while awareness of 'climate justice' is low (66.2% had never heard the term), endorsement of climate justice beliefs is widespread. These beliefs are significantly associated with climate action and policy support, with stronger associations in high-GHG emitting countries and those with politically salient social inequality.
