No 41, CPD Report from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: In this report, the Green Cities Initiative adds significantly to its study by presenting an analysis of the public attitudes and behaviours associated with air and plastic pollution, complementing the existing work focused on structural and systemic factors. The Green Cities Initiative undertook a survey of 500 households in Dhaka city to understand the perceptions of the problem of pollution, and attitudes towards different policy solutions. This survey explored residents’ perceptions of the scale of air and plastic pollution, their understanding of the causes and impacts of pollution and their willingness to change their own behaviour or support policies with the aim of reducing pollution in the city.
