The Climate Advocacy Gap

The research examines the distribution of pro-climate lobbying groups in the US using 2017 data. It identifies a 'threefold climate advocacy gap,' noting that pro-climate representation is low relative to other energy interest groups, in Republican-leaning states, and in states with high total carbon emissions.

• The researchers identified a 'threefold climate advocacy gap' regarding the representation of pro-climate groups, which is low in three specific contexts: as a proportion of energy-related interest groups, within Republican-leaning states, and in states with high total carbon emissions.
