Abstract

Climate change action, individual and collective, can reduce climate change. Hope and anxiety are emotional responses that can motivate people to action. The final sample consisted of 474 United States MTurk workers, recruited using CloudResearch. Anxiety was not a moderator, but hope and anxiety were significant predictors of action.
