What's driving the attention

A majority of Americans want action on climate change, but many are unaware their views align with the majority, amid ongoing climate risk and consequences.

Recent reports highlight that 74% of Americans support actions addressing climate change, yet many residents in cities like Philadelphia do not realize they are part of this majority. This comes against a backdrop of climate-related challenges, including intensified flood risks due to urban pressures and climate change effects, such as those observed on the Gulf of Guinea coast.
