Abstract: Global warming is an important concern nowadays. Government and non-government organizations are trying to build awareness among the people to contain this problem. A study was done to understand the concern for global warming among the working class of urban India. A sample of 1,220 respondents representing a cross section of Indian urban working class were interviewed to check their awareness of global warming and activities undertaken by them and other agencies to reduce the global warming. The study found that around two-thirds of the urban working class is aware of global warming, but their actions were confined only to activities which benefited them monetarily. The respondents felt that their organizations are contributing towards protecting the environment; however, they felt that the government and international bodies need to do more. The study also supports the earlier studies which found that demographic variables are not good variables to differentiate environmental behaviour.
