In this weekend read we delve into the perception of climate change across the European Union, focusing on the extent to which EU respondents agree with the statement that climate change is caused by human activity. Overall, the data shows strong consensus, with 84% of respondents in the EU27 stating they 'Agree' with this statement. We analyze how this crucial perspective differs across various socio-professional categories and demographic groups. For example, agreement levels are highest among students (93%), managers (88%), and those still studying (92%). Conversely, lower levels of agreement are observed among those living in a rural area or village (80%) and house persons (81%). We also explore the dramatic difference in perspective based on how serious people view the issue: 92% of those who view climate change as a 'serious problem' agree it is human-caused, compared to only 43% of those who do not view it as a serious problem.European Commission: Directorate-General for Climate Action, Climate change – Eurobarometer report, Publications Office of the European Union, 2025, https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2834/3928510
