The place we live in influences our trust in institutions.
In 2024, on average:
- 60% of people living in cities trusted the EU,
- compared to 52% of people in towns,
- and 48% of those in rural areas.

One of the best arguments for #science4policy #scipol #evidence-informedpolicy is that science is good at causality and problem definition, so it helps policymakers tackle underlying, systemic causes rather than symptoms and develop a robust intervention logic.

That's why I try to define the problem at a systems level, too often the calls to wake up focus on the symptoms, not the causes, and it means any response is limited and ultimately ineffective.
