The full moon results of the 2022 Sustainability Literacy Survey: Under the pressure of net zero, the awareness of carbon emissions has increased by 42% In the penultimate month of local public office elections, many candidates put forward sustainable political views, hoping to improve the social and environmental issues in various counties and cities. The central government is also actively implementing relevant policies to move towards the goal of "2050 net zero carbon emissions". When the government mobilizes various resources to promote sustainability, have the people of Taiwan followed suit? The full moon results of the 2022 Sustainability Literacy Survey are released today, and 4 key insights are revealed In order to better understand the level of sustainable literacy of the people in Taiwan, Social Enterprise Stream, Vision Engineering Foundation and DBS Bank (Taiwan) jointly released the " 2022 Sustainable Literacy Survey " after receiving tens of thousands of responses last year. This year's new version of the survey Focusing more on hot trends and issues of sustainable development at home and abroad, through 50 questions, two types of surveys, cognitive questions and action questions, have been answered by more than 5,000 people so far. Today (13) the full moon survey results are released, revealing 4 Great insights! Among the respondents, the 41-60-year-old Generation X (1700 people), the 31-40-year-old Generation Y (1161 people), and the 16-30-year-old Generation Z (1500 people) have similar numbers of respondents, and each generation is representative; More than 80% of the respondents live in Liudu, with the largest number of employees in the manufacturing and service industries. Insight 1: Under the pressure of net zero, the awareness of carbon emissions increased by 42%, and the awareness of rural education, same-sex marriage, and energy decreased compared with last year From the 2021 Sustainability Literacy Survey of social enterprises, 14 key questions with low awareness at that time were selected and asked again in this year's survey. The overall awareness increased from 38.68% to 45.86%. Among them, under the encouragement of the global net-zero trend and the government’s announced goal of “2050 net-zero carbon emissions”, it can be found that the public’s awareness of carbon emission-related issues has increased by about 14 percentage points from 33.39% last year to 47.43%. 42%. Compared with last year, the three topics with the most reduced awareness are: the current situation of rural education in Taiwan, the source of legal protection for cross-border same-marriage, and Taiwan’s forest coverage; and although water use has slightly increased this year (5.55 percentage points), but It is still the last aspect of cognitive ranking for two consecutive years. Overall, the increase in people's awareness of environmental issues such as ecological conservation and climate change (increased by 10.91 percentage points) was higher than that of social issues such as the gap between the rich and the poor and water and electricity consumption (increased by 5.81 percentage points). Insight 2: High awareness of policies related to Taiwan’s sustainable development, but not familiar with the current status of various issues in Taiwan Judging from the performance of all the respondents in the "awareness question", the awareness of the three major topics of "political voice" (78.45%), "responsible production and consumption" (58.53%), and "sustainable urban and rural areas" (55.30%) The highest; the awareness of topics related to "water" (15.70%), "social equity" (29.88%), and "gender equality" (30.20%) is the lowest. It is worth noting that the average awareness of Taiwan’s policy-related topics is more than 50%, especially nearly 70% of respondents know Taiwan’s 2050 net zero carbon emission target; however, the average awareness of topics about Taiwan’s current issues is only 30%—— —Less than 20% of the respondents are familiar with the current situation of electricity and water consumption in Taiwan, and even more than 60% of the respondents believe that residential electricity consumption and domestic water consumption are lower than commercial consumption. If the cognitive gap between the policy and the current situation can be reduced, it will not only help relevant units improve the effectiveness of initiatives and policy implementation, but may also encourage the public to take more action. Insight 3: Generation Z ranks first in sustainable cognition performance, and generation Y needs to improve their sustainable cognition most Analyzing the sustainable cognition status of each generation, it can be found that the Z generation has exceeded the overall average in 80% of the issues and performed the best; the Y generation is at the bottom, and the sustainable cognition needs to be improved the most. Generation X, on the other hand, performed better than other generations in terms of political voice and social fairness, which shows that they are more invested in political and social issues. In terms of content, 4 of the top 5 issues that each generation is most concerned about are the same, including: amendments to the lower age limit for citizenship, discounts for bringing your own drink cups, awareness of the impact of plasticizers and sustainable forestry. What is more special is that Generation Y is quite different from the other two generations in that they are particularly sensitive to the issue of social housing—as a sandwich group with the pressure of child care on top and child care on the bottom, they are very interested in social housing that can reduce stress. Awareness (69.68%) is higher than that of the other two generations. In addition, various generations have insufficient awareness of the correct concept of recycling and the current ecological conditions of land and sea. Insight 4: Sustainability is not "easier to know but harder to do"! 90% of the people have taken action in their daily lives, and Generation X has the highest motivation for action Judging from the performance of all the respondents in the "Action Question", as many as 90% indicated that they have taken sustainable actions in food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment. Among them, in terms of entertainment, more than 70% of the people prefer to use consumption to support a compatible economy, higher than donations (54.50%), volunteers (38.00%), and employment of disabled employees (16.30%), enterprises or government ministries Think about how to promote responsible production and consumption. Looking at each generation, it is found that the number of actions of the X generation is better than that of the Y and Z generations in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment, and has the highest sustainable action power. The survey also shows that people are most active in "purchasing beverages with their own containers" (69.10%) and "using recycled packaging materials in online shopping" (62.90%); " (21.30%) and "purchase green electricity" (23.10%), fewer people took action. Further comparing cognition and action, it is found that cognition will drive action. For example, nearly 90% of the people know that there is a discount for bringing their own environmental cups, and nearly 70% take action to bring their own reusable cups; on the contrary, the awareness of ESG funds is only 3 Only about 20% of the public buy ESG mutual funds.
