Title: Climate change activism among Latino and White Americans Authors: Matthew Ballew, Matthew Goldberg, Seth Rosenthal, Michael Cutler, and Anthony Leiserowitz Year: 2019

In "Climate change activism among Latino and White Americans," Ballew, Goldberg, Rosenthal, Cutler, and Leiserowitz (2019) explore the differences in climate change activism between Latino and White Americans. The authors use survey data to examine the levels of engagement with climate change activism and the factors that drive these differences.

The study finds that Latino Americans are more likely than White Americans to engage in climate change activism, despite having fewer resources and being less connected to environmental organizations. The authors attribute this difference to factors such as cultural values, social identity, and a greater sense of vulnerability to the impacts of climate change among Latino Americans.

The findings of this research highlight the importance of understanding the diverse perspectives and motivations of different communities in addressing climate change. This knowledge can help inform the development of targeted communication strategies and interventions to engage a broader range of audiences in climate activism.
