Individual and household economic precarity is increasingly important in the context of the climate crisis. The household finances of low-income and communities of color are already experiencing impacts “first and worst. California created the CalAccount program, a free and accessible public option for basic financial transactions. Key features of the CalAccount program include: accessibility for individuals who may not have government-issued photo identification and individuals who do not have permanent housing; enabling and streamlining remittance of local, state, and federal benefit and public assistance payments; enabling payroll direct deposit; establishing a process and terms and conditions for registered payees; and requiring landlords to allow a tenant to pay rent and security deposits by electronic funds from CalAccount. As a free public option for Californians to access their money, CalAccount would significantly improve the financial resilience of vulnerable households in the context of climate (and other) hazards.

There is substantial differences in climate change awareness, knowledge, and support for government action between genders and across countries and territories with varying income and emission levels. In low income/emission countries and territories, a substantial proportion of men (45%) and women (44%) are Alarmed. This contrasts with high income/emission countries and territories where women (36%) are more Alarmed than men (30%). In high income/emission countries and territories, women (11%) are also much less likely to be Doubtful or Dismissive than men (20%). Self-reported knowledge about climate change differs by gender and even more by income/emission level. In low per-capita income/emission countries and territories, small percentages of men (13%) and women (9%) say they know “a lot” about climate change, and an additional 30% of men and 33% of women say they know “a moderate amount” about it. By contrast, in high per-capita emissions and income countries and territories 22% of men and 16% of women say they know “a lot” about climate change, and an additional 40% of men and 43% of women say they know “a moderate amount” about it. 42% of men and 41% of women in low per-capita income/emission countries and territories say climate change should be a “very high” priority for the government where they live, as do 39% of women in high per-capita income/emission countries and territories. By comparison, fewer men in high income/emission countries and territories think so (34%).
