Abstract

Climate mitigation and adaptation depends on leadership. An investigation of environmental leadership in urban multi-ethnic undergraduates (n=141) found 24.8% interested in future environmental leadership and 3.3% consider themselves environmental leaders. Aspiring environmental leaders report greater hope and responsibility to combat climate change.
