In 2019, respondents from the Netherlands were asked what in their eyes the most important problem for the environment was. Nearly 40 percent stated that they believed that plastic litter was the most urgent problem today. By comparison, just one in ten of the survey respondents thought the loss of biodiversity was the most important environmental problem.
What do you consider the most important problem for the environment?
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Wat zie u als het
belangrijkste probleem voor het milieu?" (English: What do you consider the most important problem for the environment?) Percentage points exceeding 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
