Consequences of climate change are far worse for communities of color. This study examines initial reliability of a scale developed to assess perceptions of climate and racial justice intersections. Analyses supported the Climate and Racial Justice Scale factor structure, and highlighted associations with climate concerns, activism, and demographics.
