Demanding Results: Global Views on International Cooperation

We are living through a moment of change in how the world works — and in how countries compete and collaborate. And today’s biggest challenges — pandemics, hunger, migration, financial shocks, extreme weather have overwhelmed existing initiatives and institutions.

To move beyond the headlines and better understand how people across the world look at each other, The Rockefeller Foundation commissioned a new global survey with Focaldata. Between August 8th to September 10th, 2025, Focaldata surveyed 36,405 adults across 34 countries to capture public attitudes on global cooperation, pressing issues, and the institutions designed to address them.
