As part of her own research on Climate Change, and in particular as part of the broader research project aimed at exploring uncertainty and risk related to climate change, Prof. Valentina Bosetti has been able to transform the support received into concrete activities designed to create a fundamental database for the subsequent work of studying the evidence.

The data collection on attention and concern related to environmental issues (specifically climate change and local pollution), as well as economic issues, covers 3 continents (Europe, America and Asia), was launched in November 2019 in 6 major cities (Milan, Rome, New York, Dallas, Beijing and Shanghai) and is still ongoing today.

The data collection phase has unexpectedly also covered the emergency period of COVID-19 and the processing of the first results shows that the environmental issue, unlike others, remains perceived as "priority" even at source to the emergence of other concerns, even serious ones (e.g. COVID).
