Abstract

Undergraduate women reported greater climate-related efficacy and more frequent sustainable behaviors than men (N = 1114). Latina women most strongly agreed collective climate change action will make a difference. Asian participants reported most frequent sustainable behaviors. Demographic differences in climate attitudes and behaviors provide insight for environmental protection and leadership.
