“…For instance, it is commonplace to recommend "finding common ground" in climate conversations 34,35 . Research also supports the recommendation of finding common ground, for instance by focusing on shared values and tailoring the conversation to the other participant(s) [36][37][38][39] . Less commonly, climate organizations and researchers suggest strategies that proximize climate action along the hypothetical, spatial, and temporal dimensions, such as discussing actions one has taken 40 and mentioning immediate and local opportunities for action.…”

Many US residents are worried about the climate crisis, but few are involved in collective climate action. Relational climate conversations are a commonly recommended yet understudied means of encouraging action. This study examines the effects of conversations between US climate activists and non-activists they knew, most of whom were concerned about climate change. Non-activists reported increased knowledge, perceived efficacy, and intention to take action following the conversations, but did not participate in collective climate action more than control groups. Common barriers included low perceived efficacy, lack of knowledge about collective climate action, and psychological distance of action. Activists’ discussion of collective climate action was correlated with an increase in perceived efficacy among non-activists. Because perceived efficacy has been found to predict collective action, these results suggest that focusing on action, more so than solutions in the abstract, could enhance the effectiveness of relational climate conversations.

“…This includes protest against the expansion of the oil extraction frontier, as in the case of exploration and exploitation of oil in the Amazon or the Niger Delta (Frynas, 2001; Lewis, 2016), or the opposition to new coal mining projects in China and natural gas in Russia. Also, anti‐extraction movements have turned their attention to non‐traditional forms of extraction of fossil fuels, such as the mobilizations against the tar‐sands in Canada or fracking of oil and gas in the US (Auyero et al., 2019; Grosse, 2022; Haluza‐DeLay, 2012; Vasi et al., 2015). The anti‐fracking movement has been especially strong in the United States since the 2000s (Ladd, 2018; Vasi, 2018b).…”

Scientific research on the mechanisms to address global warming and its consequences continues to proliferate in the context of an accelerating climate emergency. The concept of climate action includes multiple meanings, and several types of actors employ its use to manage the crisis. The term has evolved to incorporate many of the suggested strategies to combat global warming offered by international bodies, states, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and social movements. The present work offers a classification scheme to build a shared understanding of climate action through a lens of environmental justice and just transitions developed by sociologists and others. The classification system includes major institutional and noninstitutional forms of climate action. By identifying the primary forms of climate action, analysts, scholars, policymakers, and activists can better determine levels of success and how different forms of climate action may or may not complement one another in the search for equitable solutions in turning back the rapid heating of the planet.
