PARIS (BLOOMBERG) - Maybe populist political movements don't have as much support as often presumed.
The global public favours cooperation between nations, thinks immigration is a good thing and believes climate scientists, according to a poll of 10,000 people in every region of the world.
The poll was commissioned by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and will be discussed at panels at this year's meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
People in South-east Asia and Africa were the strongest believers in countries working together, with 88 per cent saying it's extremely or very important.
The least enthusiastic region was Western Europe, where 61 per cent held that view. In North America, the figure was 70 per cent. Worldwide, it was 76 per cent.
