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.
