Announcing: American Climate Metrics Survey 2024
Climate Concern Declines Amid Record-Breaking Climate Disasters
The world recorded its hottest day ever on July 21, 2024. Scorching temperatures, relentless wildfires, and massive floods and storms in America and around the globe are glaring reminders of our rapidly changing climate, demanding swift attention and action to protect lives and livelihoods. Despite rising climate disasters, ecoAmerica’s 2024 American Climate Metrics Survey (ACMS) records a dip in climate concern across American demographics. However, Americans aged 25-34 and Republicans stand out, reporting a greater concern than in 2023.
The survey underscores that most Americans feel morally responsible for creating a safe and healthy climate for themselves and their children and believe in the critical rights to clean air, water, and energy for all. With the 2024 elections approaching, the survey also reveals a larger proportion of Americans saying they will vote for leaders that support action on climate. Despite declining concern, Americans have a strong sense of agency in solutions, and ecoAmerica’s latest findings present an opportunity to invite all into empowering climate action.
