This project aims to model climate-change opinions across all 29 states and seven Union Territories of India, in order to eventually predict and project climate opinions as they are now with the intention of informing public policy, business trajectory and community mobilization for climate action.

With the use of advanced statistical modelling methods and techniques, this project will produce comprehensive estimates for Indians' beliefs, risk perceptions and policy preferences based on survey, census, climate and environmental data. The multilevel regression and post-stratification model created will estimate these opinions, and will further be validated alongside other data sources collected.

This project is being conducted in conjunction with the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.
