Climate advocates want to solve their ‘biggest problem’ in the US: Turning out voters
==========
Climate advocates, led by the Environmental Voter Project (EVP), are working to turn out voters who prioritize climate change but have not shown up for past elections. EVP uses targeted door-knocking campaigns to identify registered voters who rank climate as their top issue but have a low voting history. The group claims to have increased turnout by as much as 1.8 percentage points in general elections, 3.6 points in primaries, and 5.7 points in local elections. The goal is to bring more Republicans to the table and make climate change a salient voting issue. Climate change currently ranks 11th among voters' top issues. The Biden administration has prioritized fighting climate change but is being pushed by progressives to do more. The choice for voters in November is stark, with Biden supporting renewable energy solutions and aggressive emissions standards, while former President Trump opposed clean energy policies. Climate advocates believe that political and systemic solutions are necessary to address climate change.
