What do Dunlap and York (2016) argue
That academics and policy makers assume people in poorer nations are focused on achieving their material needs, so they cannot support the post-materialist value of environmental protection
What challenged the idea that the poor aren’t environmentally conscious (Dunlap and York, 2016)
Gallup’s 24-national Health of the Plant survey conducted in 1992, as it found highly inconsistent and negative correlations between national affluence and environmental concern.
What did Dunlap and York (2016) conclude
That there is no link between citizen concern for the environment and national affluence, instead concern for the environment is large in developing countries
Growing awareness of environmental activism in poorer nations
The growing awareness of environmental activism within poor nations (e.g., Durning 1989), greatly enhanced by the huge number of grassroots organizations from such nations participating in the Global Forum in Rio in 1992 (Fisher 1993), began to raise questions about the assumed absence of environmental awareness and concern in third world nations (Brechin and Kempton 1994)
