The first of its kind, a study from Michigan State University shows a gender divide in climate change belief. Eight years of data from Gallup’s annual environmental poll showed that more women than men tend to believe the scientific data on climate change and its possible effects on the planet—and that it is caused by humans. The study found that regardless of the occupations of the respondents, this trend was seen among women in general. How does this affect women’s decision-making, choices for sustainable options, daily activities, support and advocacy for environmental policies? This is material for further research that needs to be done, sparked by these findings.
