According to recent science as many as 89% of the world’s people want governments to take stronger action on climate, a fact not reflected in the media, which might explain why the 89% don’t know that they are the global majority.

***The 89 Percent Project***, launched in April 2025 with ***CCNow Joint Coverage Week***1, is a year-long global journalistic effort to explore this little-known fact about climate change.

As CCNow say, that 89% figure puts a lie to the one-dimensional caricature of people who care about climate change as left-wing or fringe. The sheer size of the climate majority means that it includes almost everyone across political, economic, generational, racial, and other lines.

When confronted by **bigotry** and **ignorance** in our streets and local government never forget that these parrots, albeit loud-mouthed, are a **minority** being led by fossil fuelled squillionaires intent only on feathering their own nests.

The CA-WN Exchange is monitoring output from the ***89 Percent Project*** and will share locally relevant stories as well as contributing our own.
