EFEverde\/Lifewatercool.-<\/strong><\/p>\n

46.5% of Spaniards consider unattainable by 2050 the challenge of achieving a sustainable and climate-neutral economy in carbon dioxide emissions, as proposed by the European Union to mitigate global warming, according to a survey published today by the Alternativas Foundation.<\/p>\n

The results are the result of a survey with questions to a thousand Spanish citizens, on the future of Europe and its transition towards a sustainable economy, carried out between August 24 and September 8 by the company 40dB.<\/p>\n

According to the survey conducted by Bel\u00e9n Barreiro, patron of the Alternativas Foundation and former president of the CIS, only 20.8 % of those interviewed consider it possible or realistic to achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2050, as proposed by the European Union.<\/p>\n

Environmental management<\/p>\n

With regard to environmental management, practically half of those surveyed consider that environmental protection and ecological transition should be a shared competence between the EU and each Member State, as stated by 48.6 % of those consulted.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, 27% of those interviewed believe that these competences should be managed by the EU alone, and 19.2% believe that they should be exercised by each Member State.<\/p>\n

According to the data, citizens tend to be critical when asked about the efforts being made by the States to meet environmental objectives, given that 47.9 % disagree somewhat or very much as to whether the actions of the countries are sufficient, and only 26.7 % consider that what is needed is being done.<\/p>\n

As to whether or not citizens agree with the idea of investing in environmental policies, even if this means that some companies or sectors pay more taxes, 63.8 % are in favor and 13.2 % disagree, according to the survey.<\/p>\n

As for obligations, the majority of respondents advocate that the EU requires states to invest in environmental protection and tighten the use of cars to reduce air pollution. EFEGreen<\/p>\n
