title: EIEM, 2000

description: Environics International Environmental Monitors (EIEM) is a syndicated annual survey of global public opinion on a variety of environmental and natural resource issues. The findings of the 2000 Survey are based on the results of face-to face or telephone interviews with representative samples of about 1,000 citizens in each of 34 countries on all continents, and at varying stages of economic development. This represents about 70% of the world's population. Research was conducted by respected social research institutes in each country between April 4, 2000 and July 10, 2000. The survey consisted of 20 minutes of questions dealing with topics such as national problems, extreme weather patterns, personal concern about the environment, the scope of concern, effects of pollution, effects on human health, economic impacts of environmental clean-up, feelings about empowerment and personal action, industry performance, governance, climate change, biotechnology, chemicals, and automobiles. A number of additional questions were asked in fewer countries.

description: <b>Tracking Data</b>
Tracking results from previous surveys are included. Except where indicated, 1992 tracking data are drawn from the "Health of the Planet"' survey conducted by the Gallup International Institute. More complete information for years up to and including the current one is provided in tables in the appendix. "NA" in these tables denotes data not available for that year.

<b>Trend and Shift Charts</b>
Where data are available, tracking information from previous years were provided in two ways. One is with the use of trend charts in the body of the detailed report. Trend charts are used to show significant changes over time for selected situations. Shift charts are used to show significant changes over two years only. Not all significant changes are shown in the trend or shift charts.

<b>Data for G20 Countries</b>
In this report, "G20 Countries" refer to the 19 countries that, together with the European Union, make up the "Group of 20" or "G20". Comprised of G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and the USA) plus Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey, the G20 countries account for nearly 87 percent of world gross domestic product (GDP) and for about 65 percent of total global population. Data for the G20 countries, excluding Saudi Arabia, are shown in this report where the findings are deemed useful to the reader. Environics International intends to track G20 findings over time.

<b>Regional Grouping</b>
The countries analyzed in this report have been grouped regionally to aid in understanding global patterns. The seven regional groupings and the countries polled in each are:
<b>Africa:</b> Nigeria and South Africa
<b>Asia:</b> China, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand

<b>Mediterranean:</b> Greece, Italy, Spain, and Turkey
<b>North America / Oceania:</b> Australia, Canada, and the United States
<b>Northern Europe:</b> Finland, Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands

<b>Gross Domestic Product Per Capita Grouping</b>
The countries have also been grouped according to their gross domestic product per capita (estimated by "purchasing power parity") as shown below:
<b>High GDP per capita:</b> Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States
<b>Medium GDP per capita:</b> Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Greece, Mexico, Panama, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, Venezuela, and Uruguay
<b>Low GDP per capita:</b> Brazil, China, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines, Peru, Russia, and Thailand

<b>Psychographic Segmentation</b>
Two segmentation analyses have also been created, dividing people in all countries into various segments depending on the nature of their engagement with environmental issues and concerns. These segments are described in the Attitudinal Segmentation and the Behavioral Segmentation sections of this report. Environics' Opinion Leader Typology is also included.

<b>Figures and Charts</b>
All figures in the charts and tables of this report are expressed in percentages, unless otherwise noted. Total percentages may not add up to 100 because of rounding. In the case of stacked bar charts, the white space typically represents the portion of respondents who either answered "don't know" or did not answer at all. DK/NA means "don't know or did not answer at all".
