Confidence levels fell from 58.9% in 2021 to 56.6% in 2022, according to the Epson Climate Reality Barometer. Globally, climate change is on average ranked third as a priority issue that governments, companies and individuals should be focused on. But in South Africa, according to Epson, it is ranked fourth at 9.4%, behind fixing the economy , tackling poverty and managing inflation .
