Climate change is causing increasingly damaging effects to the environment humans rely on for survival. Efforts are underway to reverse the effects of climate change on multiple levels of society including at a personal level. Currently, there are gaps in understanding the predictors of personal climate activism. Personal climate activism can include actions such as taking public transportation, going vegan, and recycling. In seeking to understand the role of nature connection in predicting climate activism, 547 participants completed a questionnaire, 15 of whom completed optional follow-up interviews in which they elaborated on their relationship to the environment and their questionnaire answers. Findings in this study show that participants who reported past climate activism were more connected to nature. Also, participants were 26 percent more likely to participate in climate activism for each increase of one point on their nature connectedness score. A higher level of nature connectedness is indicative of future climate activism. Object relations theory and actor network theory can help explain why nature-connected individuals partake in climate activism. Understanding predictors of pro-environmental behaviors can inform efforts to educate people on the value of connecting with nature and the impact this connection has on ecological sustainability.
