This poll seeks to analyze the knowledge and perceptions of a sample of university public opinion (students) on the issue of climate change and its life and future effects, in accordance with a national work system represented in Egypt's hosting of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (Sharm El-Sheikh - November 2022), which represented an important shift in dealing with climate issues and sought to make of the global public opinion an institutional partner with the governments and the United Nations. This takes place within the context of building effective awareness that responds to the needs of forming public awareness towards environmental protection and the necessity of reducing the effects of climate change.
The importance of the outputs of this survey is to extract the qualitative features of the knowledge of a sample of the university student sector regarding its perceptions of the priorities and effects of climate change issues in order to represent a definition of state institutions and the Ministry of   Environment of the nature of the issue of climate change and its comprehensive environmental, health and societal impacts, including the basis of work in various awareness campaigns.

The response data was collected during the second half of October 2022 before the climate summit hosted by Egypt in Sharm El-Sheikh, and the limits and results of this study are related to the nature of the sample and the method of data entry, and thus the results work as initial indicators that can be an input for broader study.
