Summary/Abstract: The analysis investigates the ranking and rating questions of climate concern with a view to reveal Romanian respondents’ attitude towards the seriousness of climate change in the period of 2009–2019 based on the Special Eurobarometer research. The results show that climate change is seen in Romania as a severe but a less important problem. The multivariate analyses show that educational status represents the individual level variable that clearly determines climate concern whether it is a ranking or a rating type of measurement. It has also been demonstrated that climate-change-related concern is interlinked with other attitudes towards climate change. This points to the fact that although climate concern has a less stable socio-demographic root, it forms a coherent environment belief.
