Global trust in science lower than before Covid pandemic, report finds

A new report finds that global trust in science has fallen below pre-Covid pandemic levels. The findings suggest the pandemic years, marked by contested public health measures and widespread misinformation, may have eroded public confidence in scientific institutions. The decline raises concerns among researchers and policymakers about how declining trust could affect support for science-based policy on health, climate and other issues.

Why now: The fresh finding that the pandemic left lasting damage to public confidence in science is prompting debate about misinformation and institutional credibility.
