In 2020, more than half of respondents in Peru and Mexico said that they were certain to, very or fairly likely to eat less meat or consume plant-based alternatives in order to limit their own contribution to climate change, according to a survey. Among the Latin American countries surveyed that year, Argentinians were the least likely to reduce their meat consumption.

Supplementary notes

* The source does not specify the number of respondents in each country.
The source states that: "Where results do not sum to 100, this may be due to computer rounding, multiple responses or the exclusion of don't knows or not stated responses".

The original question posed was: "Thinking about things you might do in order to limit you own contribution to climate change, how likely or unlikely would you be to make the following changes within the next year? 'Eating less meat, or replacing the meat in some meals with alternatives such as beans'". Wording used in this statistic may slightly differ from the original.
