We want to find out how people in North Carolina think about climate change and clean energy. To do this, we ask participants to sort statements about topics like protecting communities, using renewable energy, and paying for projects.

This information will help leaders and communities work together on plans that keep everyone safer and healthier in the face of climate challenges.
