The results show a substantial concern\u2013behaviour gap across all six operationalisations of climate concern. Educational attainment, subjective financial situation and type of residence are consistently associated with pro-climate action, whereas gender and age show little robust relationship.<\/p>\n<p>The study is available <a href=\"https:\/\/rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/epdf\/10.1002\/cli2.70073\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently published: &#8216;Who Acts on Climate Concern?
