climate change

Climate change problematic it is an environmental problem on a global scale that concerns each and every human being who lives on the planet. There are people who are aware and others who are not. There are sectors of the population that do not think that climate change could be an immediate threat, but that, if it is a real threat, it will be in such a distant future that it will not be their turn to experience it.

A survey of Hispanics living in the United States has been conducted to find out the percentage of them who are genuinely concerned about climate change and its devastating effects. The poll was carried out after the elections to the US presidency in which he won Donald Trump.

This poll reveals Latinos' concern for the environment. This concern has tripled in the last four years, although issues such as the economy, employment and education are the main problems that concern the Hispanic population the most. According to the results of the poll and surveys, 88% of the Hispanic electorate expresses a degree of concern about the environment and climate change. Breaking down this result, 53% admit that they are very worried for the already noticeable and imminent effects, 24% somewhat concerned y sólo 11% are calm with this topic.

The polls have been published by organizations defending the environment Sierra Club and Green Latinos. These organizations also highlight in their study that 71% of Hispanics who voted in the elections believe that it is vitally important to comply with the Paris Agreement in order to act on the effects of climate change. That is why the majority of Hispanic voters consider that it should be a priority for Donald Trump to continue with the negotiations and with the guidelines of the Paris Agreement. In addition, at the regional level, they urge the president to impose stricter regulations to combat water and air pollution, as well as new initiatives to expand the production and technological development of renewable energies.

Finally, the organizations emphasize that the support of these policies must remain unchanged in all groups of people that make up the United States, regardless of gender, age or race.
