BMF CP32: Predictors of people’s support for ocean protection

Abstract

The analysis shows the perceived importance of marine and coastal systems for human well-being and climate change reduction is positively associated with people’s support for ocean protection. People from upper-middle-income and high-income are more likely to support ocean protection than those from lower-middle-income and low-income countries. Other socio-demographic factors also predict people’s support for ocean protection (see Figure 1).
