Abstract
This paper explores public attitudes towards support for climate change policies and perceptions of the use of low-carbon power sources in the UK and Japan based on web based online survey conducted in 2020. A larger proportion of UK-Japan respondents have similar concerns about climate change, but the UK has a higher level of awareness of the contribution of low-carbon power sources, including climate change measures, than Japan. Furthermore, the paper also explores the background factors, based on the public attitudes of the two countries toward the perception of the changing their behaviour with respect to climate change and priority to protecting the environment over the economic growth.
