, steering committee member Ayn Craciun said more are piloted by females, and many of their most active partner groups, such as the League of Women Voters North OC chapter, are entirely women-focused. They also say the consequences are far-reaching, with impacts on everything from mental health to reproduction to climate change itself.The most reliable predictor of climate change concern is political affiliation. Democrats are three times more likely than Republicans to cite the issue as a top worry in that recent PPIC survey.
It’s common to see more women than men when meeting with advocates, or attending community meetings centered on climate change, said state Sen. Catherine Blakespear, D-Encinitas, who has focused on climate issues throughout her political career. The gender divide isn’t as dramatic as it is in meetings about gun violence, which she said are often perhaps 80% female. But Blakespear said women have definitely “been able to create a seat at the table” on climate issues.
