Data
Actual and perceived support for climate action (Andre et al. 2024)
From a survey of nearly 130,000 people in 125 countries (Gallup World Poll 2021–2022): the share willing to give 1% of their household income every month to fight global warming, the share who approve of pro-climate norms, the share who want their government to do more, and what people believe about their compatriots: the average believed share willing to contribute and the share who think a majority is willing. In almost every country, people underestimate how many of their compatriots are willing.

What was done to it
Extracted the text of PDF pages 6–8 of the Supplementary Information (sha256 622196c98156…), Table S4 'National averages', and read every row between the column header and the notes: 125 countries and World, five values each, as printed (percent, one decimal).
Code: pipeline/src/envdash/transforms/action/andre_2024.py · code sha256 01bd569d1a189728… · inputs 622196c98156…
Mapped each country name, exactly as printed, to its ISO 3166-1 code through a fixed table; World is the authors' population-weighted average of the national shares.
