This winter, India is experiencing some of the worst air pollution in years. Next up? A summer likely spent indoors, for the most part, because of unbearable heat.

I had a delightful conversation with Eos.org (published by American Geophysical Union) about my research on gender and climate change beliefs. Thanks, Kimberly Cartier! The link to the article (published on Festivus) is below.
In low-income countries, more access to education and civil liberties increases women’s and gender minorities’ belief that climate change is caused by human activity.
Democracy and Education Increase Women’s Belief in Climate Change - Eos
The finding, which focuses on lower-income countries, could help inform plans to shrink the global climate knowledge gender gap.
