Research in 10 countries, including New Zealand, into attitudes towards climate change finds individuals think they're doing enough but want better leadership from government and business.

The research firm Kantar Public conducted the research in late September in the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore and New Zealand.

One thousand adults in each country were surveyed.

Across the board, respondents believe they are personally are more committed to combating climate change than their government or the business sector.
