Why don’t more Americans vote for climate action?
Description
The Environmental Voter Project has contacted nearly 13 million voters over the last decade, and before the 2026 midterm elections, they plan to contact 5 million! Over the next 12 months, the nonpartisan group will target Americans who care deeply about addressing climate change but have never voted in a midterm election. EVP hopes to turn those people into consistent voters.
Nathaniel Stinnett, EVP’s founder and executive director, says their work has never been more important, because the group discovered many Americans don’t consider climate change a “political” issue. The group conducted a national poll which found that nearly 1-in-5 Americans think about climate impacts every day, but none of them thought that voting could be a solution to addressing the crisis. Not a single person!
Meteorologist Chase Cain talks with Nathaniel Stinnett about what 2025’s off-year elections could reveal about 2026. And they dig into the surprising findings of EVP’s national poll and how it could shape the future of climate action in the U.S.
