Survey analysis finds race plays a role in perception, vulnerabilities to climate change in Indiana

People across the U.S. are taking to the streets to protest racial inequity, saying that people of color experience a wholly different experience in the country than white Americans.

The findings are part of an analysis of the Hoosier Life Survey, a comprehensive survey conducted by Indiana University’s Environmental Resilience Institute that sought out Hoosiers’ attitudes on environmental change and risk, personal values and trust in news media.
