title: Environics International Environmental Monitor, 2001

description: &lt;p&gt;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 2001 Survey are based on the results of face-to face or telephone interviews with representative samples of about 1,000 citizens in each of 30 countries on six 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 March 29, 2001 and August 25, 2001.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This International Environmental Monitor investigates such topics as threats to future generations, concern about specific environmental issues, scope of concern, effects of environmental problems on human health, energy, and climate change, feelings about empowerment and personal action, environmental performance ratings of various sectors, governance issues, and the chemical and automobile industries. The research builds on four years of tracking data since 1997, as well as from earlier research by others that is now in the public domain. The research also draw upon other research programs: the Corporate Social Responsibility Monitor, the Global Issues Monitor, and the GlobeScan Survey of Sustainability Experts.&lt;/p&gt;

description: <b>Tracking Results</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. Asterisks in the tables indicate that the response is less than 1 percent.

<b>Trend Charts</b>
Where data are available, tracking information from previous years are provided using trend charts in the body of the detailed report. Trend charts are intended to show significant changes over time for selected situations. Not all significant changes are shown in the trend charts. "NA" in these charts denotes data not available for that year.

<b>Figures, Charts, and Tables</b>
All figures in the charts and tables in 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".

<b>Data for G20 Countries</b>
In this report, "G20 Countries surveyed" refers to the 19 countries that, together with the European Union, make up the "Group of 20" or "G20".
