The Utah People and Environment Poll (UPEP)

In spring of 2023, faculty and students started the Utah People and Environment Poll, or UPEP, to track Utahns' perceptions on environmental issues of importance to the state.  3,750 residents from across the state were randomly selected to participate in the mail and online survey.  This is the start of an effort to create a mechanism for gathering timely, relevant, and longitudinal data on issues at the intersection of people and the environment in Utah to help inform policy to address environmental issues. Please see below for additional information and publications using the UPEP data.
