Climate movement

edit

This article lists many activities but an analysis in terms of a social movement is missing. Additional sources are needed. HenriDuvent (talk) 11:19, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

This article is not about the climate movement globally - it is really about the US climate movement. Either the page should be renamed or the article should be restructured and expanded so that it covers the climate movement globally/in all countries.

Some of the article lacks an encyclopedic tone, I made some edits, but there may still be some issues. Jedistormtrooper0625 (talk) 17:09, 4 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Expanding the History Section

edit

The history section should mention what series of events led to the boom of this movement in the late 21st century. It mentions that major environmental organizations began talking about climate, but the article would be better if it talked about why the organizations began to notice climate more and more. The history itself is rich, especially regarding the social aspect and growth of climate change. It would be interesting to know which countries led the movement and how they influenced other countries.Torybigelow (talk) 06:36, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

It seems that you have some knowledge of the history. If you have some sources, please add that knowledge! Femke Nijsse (talk) 12:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Some Proposed Changes

edit

Hello, I am employed by Boston University's Fineman & Pappas Law Libraries. After reviewing this Wikipedia page, I believe that information from one of our faculty's scholarship might provide a valuable addition to this page. I would appreciate it if this requested edit could be reviewed.

Institutional Climate Activism

edit

There have been coalitions of institutional investors that have promulgated climate activism.[1] These initiatives have sometimes included expansive group efforts, such as Climate Action 100+ - a coalition over 300 institutional investors (including some of the largest greenhouse emitters).[2] Institutional activism is not uncommon, despite the common assumption that shareholder interests would be averse to such action.[3] However, industry-wide efforts to mitigate climate risks is often in the interest of heavily diversified firms, as climate change can have a strongg effect on the global economy.[4] Cf2022 (talk) 07:15, 4 January 2021 (UTC)CF2022Reply
