Description

Mountainous communities are among the first to face climate change events, and therefore are required to be some of the first to adapt to and address climate change. The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication has been conducting research on opinions towards climate change and climate activism within the United States. Our project will analyze literature including the Yale Climate Opinion data, different GIS layers and demographics to compare public opinions on climate change within these mountainous communities and those living in non-mountainous communities in the U.S and whether climate opinions are associated with certain characteristics (demographics, economics,etc.).
