A few months ago, Mary Wagner woke up to the smell of smoke from wildfires in California and northern Nevada. She readied her sons for school and stepped outside into the smoky Las Vegas air. Her 13-year-old son&#8217;s asthmatic cough worsened. &#8220;It&#8217;s really, really bad and it&#8217;s really hard for him to breathe,&#8221; she recalled.<\/p>\n<p>This summer, the city also sizzled under prolonged, record-breaking temperatures of 46.11 C or greater. Wagner knows days will get hotter and wildfires more frequent with climate change. That&#8217;s why global warming is a critical issue for her in this election. &#8220;Seeing how climate change affects our pockets as well as our health has become a priority for myself and for people in my community,&#8221; said Wagner, who was born in Honduras, grew up in the US. This year she will be voting in her first election after becoming a citizen in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>As November approaches, Latinas like Wagner could play a critical role in deciding the presidency and several congressional and gubernatorial races. An estimated 36.2 million Latinos are eligible voters this year, four million more than four years ago. But Latina voters, who turn out to the polls at higher rates than Latino men, could play a more decisive role.<\/p>\n<p>UN warns carbon cuts fall \u2018miles short\u2019 of what is needed to avoid devastating global warming<br \/>\nElectric cars, fracking, LNG: How do Harris and Trump compare on key climate issues? Amid many potential voters with varying priorities, some groups are targeting Latinos with a climate focus. They are hoping to harness the power of Latinas to vote to protect children from climate change, a top-of-mind issue for Latino voters who support Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the Pew Research Center. And it&#8217;s women who are more likely to vote for Harris: A recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research on Latinos found that Harris is viewed more positively by women than men.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/30\/why-latina-voters-climate-concerns-could-play-a-critical-role-in-the-us-election\">Read more&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/30\/why-latina-voters-climate-concerns-could-play-a-critical-role-in-the-us-election\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/why-latina-voters-climate-concerns-could-play-a-critical-role-in-the-us-election\/\">Why Latina voters\u2019 climate concerns could play a critical role in the US election<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,16712],"class_list":["post-134978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-latina-voters-climate-concerns"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134978\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
