Rio+10 findings: Progress in New Zealand on Environmental Issues

Text description of figure

There was some variation over whether people though progress on environmental issues was getting worse, getting better or not changing.

A majority of people thought that global warming, healthy streams, rivers and lakes, clean air and clean beaches and coastal waters were issues that were getting worse.

For waste reduction, biodiversity protection, energy efficiency and managing toxic chemicals a similar number of people thought the issues were getting worse as thought they were getting better.
