This question was phrased by the source as follows: "According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, livestock production is responsible for nearly 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. What step, if any, are you prepared to take to reduce overall meat consumption?"
The sources notes on the methodology: "The sample with a size of n=13.080 was drawn by Dalia Research from September 7-28 2020 across all 27 EU Member States plus the UK, taking into account current population distributions with regard to age (14-69 years), gender and region/country. In order to obtain census representative results, the data were weighted based upon the most recent Eurostat statistics. Calculated for a sample of this size and considering the design-effect, the margin of error would be +/-1.1 % at a confidence level of 95 %."
