# A global study has found that people who link extreme weather to climate change are more likely to support climate policies. Published in Nature Climate Change, the research surveyed 68 countries and showed strong support for protecting forests and using sustainable energy, while carbon tax measures were least popular. The study reveals that experience and belief in climate change influence public backing, especially in Africa and Asia. Researchers call for better climate communication to strengthen policy support.
