And despite living in an island which will be inevitably impacted by climate change only about one in 10 consider this to be the greatest problem facing the world. This emerges from a European Commission survey conducted in March. The recently published survey included 500 Maltese re- spondents. International terrorism is seen as the single most serious problem fac- ing the world by 44% of the Maltese compared to only 24% of the French and 25% of UK respondents, two countries directly hit by attacks.
