Who Cares about the Environment?
View full reports of the legacy Who Cares about the Environment survey.
Social research is an important source of insights to support the design, implementation and evaluation of our environmental and sustainability programs.
From 1994 to 2015, the former Office of Environment and Heritage conducted a survey every three years of the NSW community and discussion groups to track trends in the public’s environmental views, priorities, knowledge and actions.
