Abstract

Despite the urgency of mitigating climate change, climate action remains insufficient. People are therefore often seen as being unmotivated to take climate action. Yet, research suggests most people are motivated. To mitigate climate change, barriers that obstruct people from realizing their motivations need to be removed altogether.
