In May within the regular research the Centre for Public Opinion Research focused on the environment.
Representatives of the Czech population answered questions on particular environmental phenomena in the sense
of their problematic character.

As the most serious problems were stated the drinking water deprivation (for 64 % "very serious" problem) and
the garbage cumulation (for 63 % “very serious" problem). On contrary, the Czech people consider at the least
serious problem the operation of nuclear power plants (for 18 % "very serious" problem).

In May 2018, the Centre for Public Opinion Research asked questions regarding the environment.The first question identified an interest of respondents in information related to environmentally friendly behaviour. In the second question, the respondents expressed their subjective feeling of awareness about environmentally friendly behaviour. The third question mapped own practices of respondents household in the context of the environment and the fourth question examined the civic activities of the respondents in relation to the protection of the environment.

In May CVVM survey was focused on environmental issues. Respondents were asked about how satisfied or dissatisfied they are with the state of environment in the Czech Republic and in their place of residence. Next citizens rated the size of their satisfaction with concrete areas of environment in their residence such as cleanness of air, surrounding nature and surface water. Respondents also evaluated traffic density, level of noise and the quality of drinking water.

We also examined whether people are interested about information about the state of the environment and whether they have sufficient information on the state of the environment.

In May 2017 a survey of the Public Opinion Research Centre focused on issue of power engineering. The survey dealt with a question of the future development of electricity consumption in the country, and whether or not it is possible to replace the production of electricity from conventional sources with alternative sources. Furthermore, the survey has found out how environmentally friendly the production of electricity is from some sources according to general public. The investigation also examined the acceptability or unacceptability of the rise in energy prices in consequence of the financial support of their production from renewable sources.
