A survey of 6,500 Australian women has found that nearly nine in ten are "extremely concerned" about climate change, and that one in three in the under-30 age group are so worried, they're reconsidering having children.


The Australia Institute's 2018 Climate of the Nation poll said 80 per cent of women say climate change was occurring now, compared to 72 per cent of men.

A 2018 Lowy Institute poll showed that 52.7 per cent of women agreed that "global warming is a serious and pressing problem", while only 47.3 per cent of men agreed with that statement.
