Podcast appearances and mentions of nathaniel stinnett

I'm fascinated by the question of how we can improve climate and environmental storytelling. There's research that shows that 45% of young people in the United States experience climate anxiety so bad that it negatively affects their daily functioning. As we learned during a conversation with Nathaniel Stinnett of the Environmental Voter Project last fall, over 5 million Americans list climate and the environment as their #1 top issue, but don't actually vote. To me, these are indicators that we need new kinds of storytelling and new ways to experience the climate transition.To learn about the state of environmental and climate storytelling, I sat down with one of the leading funders of environmental films, Jill Tidman, Executive Director of The Redford Center. Jill brings decades of storytelling experience and understands the challenges of not only getting environmental films distributed but also creating impact through them. We spoke about how the film distribution and funding landscapes have changed, the history of the Redford Center, its impact framework, examples of films and impact campaigns they've supported, and much more. If you're a film fan, just generally curious about the role of documentaries in creating change, or like me, want to understand how we can improve storytelling for climate, there's a lot to learn from this conversation. Enjoy.

Nathaniel Stinnett discusses mobilizing non-voting environmentalists, aiming to boost turnout and build political power for climate action through the Environmental Voter Project.

Nathaniel Stinnett joins us to talk about his journey from political campaigns to founding the Environmental Voter Project, which focuses on motivating climate-conscious citizens to vote. His research shows that while many Americans care about environmental issues, too few cast ballots. Nathaniel discusses how building a reliable climate-focused voting base could drive real political change, ensuring politicians address climate policy with the urgency it requires.

I recorded this interview with Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder of the Environmental Voter Project, in the summer of 2016. While there are lots of differences between this election cycle and that of 2016, the ideas that Nathaniel shared remain relevant and important today. The Environmental Voter Project has dramatically expanded it's capacity and scope since 2016, and now has an expansive reach, with ground operations in 19 states and more than 10 million potential voters contacted.Earth to Humans has changed a lot since 2016 as well. When we released this episode, the podcast was still called “Eyes on Conservation” and I was the sole producer, churning out episodes almost every week. When I launched the podcast back in the fall of 2014, I imagined it as an outlet to share the audio from unused interviews originally recorded for various documentary projects, but it quickly evolved into something much more than that. I feel extremely fortunate to now have the opportunity to work with an amazing team of producers that bring a far more diverse and interesting slate of stories to the show than I would be capable of producing on my own. But when prompted to dig into the archives for this week's episode, I realized that our show's humble beginning took place almost exactly 10 years ago.So cheers to ten years of podcasting at the Wild Lens Collective! I hope that you enjoy this foray into our archives as much as I did! Happy voting.-Matt Podolsky Get full access to Earth to Humans Podcast's Substack at earthtohumanspodcast.substack.com/subscribe

This episode was originally published on January 31, 2023. Nathaniel Stinnett is the Founder and Executive Director of the Environmental Voter Project, a non-partisan nonprofit that uses data analytics and behavioral science to mobilize environmentalists to vote. He joins me on the podcast today to discuss how the project was created, why some environmentalists don't vote, and why some people consider the environment to be a partisan issue. We also identify some of the largest obstacles to environmental protection, most notably billions of dollars spent by Citizens United and the fossil fuel industry to influence elections and hinder regulations. However this is one of the most optimistic conversations I've had on climate action and environmental conservation in a very long time. The Environmental Voter Project has mobilized millions of non-voting environmentalists to vote over the last few years. And environmentalists are on track to become an increasingly powerful and influential voter block that will be impossible to ignore in future elections.

The Environmental Voter Project has a unique approach: rather than convincing people to care about climate change, it identifies people who already do, but don't consistently vote, and works to get them to the polls. In this episode, EVP founder Nathaniel Stinnett discusses how to find these voters, keep them engaged, and measure their impact. This is a public episode.

Millions of people say they care deeply about climate change ... yet they're not showing up at elections to turn their concern into political power, says environmental voting advocate Nathaniel Stinnett. He explains why increasing voter participation is essential to advancing the climate movement and shows how his team is mobilizing millions of new environmental voters — without talking about climate change at all.

Julio Friedmann, Dina Cappiello, Darren Hau and Eric Wesoff  join James Lawler to discuss this week's climate news. Why is the Auxin solar tariff case still a thing? How did we manage to reduce global emissions while increasing GDP last year? China works to establish a vehicle-to-grid (VTG) case study.  Meanwhile, more of Biden's 2020 voters now list climate change as their top priority.  What does this mean for the 2024 election?  Nathaniel Stinnett also joins Climate Now again to explain some key climate election news.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

This week on Outrage + Optimism our hosts discuss the leaked documents revealing how Adnoc, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Dr. Sultan were planning to use COP 28 meetings with other countries to promote deals for its national oil and gas companies. With Dr Sultan set to give his speech on Thursday, our hosts ask what needs to happen to restore the faltering trust in his presidency and avoid derailing the COP agenda at such a vital time.  Our guest this week is Nathaniel Stinnett who founded the Environmental Voter Project, which targets inactive environmentalists, transforming them into consistent voters to build the power of the environmental movement, something which may prove critical given the news that Trump would scrap the landmark IRA and BIL legislations if elected. To close this week's episode, we have Chris Redmond, Co- Artistic Director of Hot Poets with his poem ‘Blink', with a beautiful musical accompaniment by The Tongue Fu Band (music written by Riaan Vosloo). The poem was commissioned by 3M as part of a series of poems in collaboration with UNFCCC's Resilience Frontiers.    NOTES AND RESOURCES   GUEST Nathaniel Stinnett, Founder & Executive Director of the Environmental Voter ProjectTwitter | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram ARTIST Chris Redmond, Artistic Director - Hot Poets (the film of ‘Blink' will be released on Thursday 30 November on YouTube and across Hot Poets channels) Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok The Tongue Fu Band Twitter | Instagram   Learn more about the Paris Agreement.   It's official, we're a TED Audio Collective Podcast - Proof!

Over the past few years, more and more voters have cited “action on climate” as a reason for voting the way they do.But here's the thing: lots of voters who are registered, and even those who do vote in presidential elections – don't turn out for midterms.Much less for state and local races.Millions of registered voters who list the environment or climate as their most important issue do the same. Success might not actually be about identifying and focusing on one specific issue, campaign, or candidate. It might come down to how we want to see ourselves, why we wear those little “I Voted” stickers, how we identify, and our behaviors.And that's what the Environmental Voter Project is all about, and why we are rerunning our 2022 conversation with Nathaniel Stinnett.Nathaniel founded the Environmental Voter Project in 2015 after over a decade of experience as a senior advisor, consultant, and trainer for political campaigns and issue-advocacy nonprofits, and he sits on the Board of Advisors for MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative. He's here to help me understand the EVP's mission and tactics, and how we can help them achieve their goal of turning out more climate-focused voters this year and in the years to come.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, is back on the show to discuss how environmental voters became the "silent surprise" of the US midterm elections and what that could mean for the runoff election in Georgia next week. We discuss how the numbers are changing for climate as a top issue, what it could mean for future races, and how the Georgia runoff in 2022 is so much different than the election two years ago.  Check out the Environmental Voter Project here for ways to contribute and volunteer.  Subscribe to our Substack newsletter "The Climate Weekly" As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

The Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act. The 2022 midterm elections are less than 90 days away. With historic investments in climate action almost signed into law and historic stakes for the upcoming elections, what should the climate movement do now? We asked two political experts on this week's show.  First, Nathaniel Stinnett, Executive Director of Environmental Voter Project, joins us to discuss new polling data in battleground states and what it means for climate-concerned voters. He also discusses why the climate movement is lacking in political power now and what we can do about it. Then, Lori Lodes, Executive Director of Climate Power, joins the show to discuss what the Inflation Reduction Act means to the climate movement in America, what we can learn from the passage of the Affordable Care Act, how climate politics are changing, and what is critical to accomplish more bold legislation now.   Volunteer with the Environmental Voter Project here Volunteer with Climate Power here Subscribe to our Substack newsletter "The Climate Weekly": https://theclimateweekly.substack.com/ As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

Join us for an extended Q&A with Nathaniel Stinnett from Environmental Voter Project. Nathaniel shares how his organization is changing the voting behavior of people concerned about preserving a livable climate. The Founder and Executive Director of EVP,  Stinnett is a frequent expert speaker on cutting-edge campaign techniques and the behavioral science behind getting people to vote. He has held a variety of senior leadership and campaign manager positions on U.S. Senate, congressional, state, and mayoral campaigns. Skip ahead to the following section(s): (0:00) Intro & Agenda (3:23) EVP Background & Results (19:00) Ways to get involved 2022 (25:43) Q&A: Are there studies showing more environmentally friendly politicians are being elected? (29:03) Q&A: How does EVP know that specific people are environmental voters that don't vote? (35:40) Q&A: What's your best elevator pitch to phonebank for a friend? (37:19) Q&A: Where do you find hope? (41:45) Q&A: Do you reach out to people on social media? (42:28) Q&A: What about postcards?

With federal climate policy blocked by Congress and the Supreme Court, we look at opportunities to advance climate action at state and local levels. Caroline Spears explains how the Climate Cabinet uses big data to find pivotal elections and help pro climate candidates win. Nathaniel Stinnett of the Environmental Voter Project explains why state and local elections are a great opportunity for the climate movement to strengthen its political muscle. And we meet Lauren Kuby, who the Climate Cabinet is supporting in her race for the AZ Corporation Commission, which regulates the state's utility monopolies. 

You may be surprised that not all environmentalists vote. In fact, as a group, they vote at far lower rates than most people. Information on how often constituents' vote is publicly available, and members of Congress prioritize the concerns of those who actually vote. This may explain why some politicians don't prioritize climate change. On this month's call, Nathaniel Stinnett from Environmental Voter Project will share how his organization is changing the voting behavior of people concerned about preserving a livable climate.

Over the past few years, more and more voters have cited “action on climate” as a reason for voting the way they do. From Data for Progress, in October: Over two-thirds of voters (68 percent), agree that the U.S. should lead the world in addressing climate change so other countries will follow suit. From November: Roughly two-thirds of voters (64 percent) think that the U.S. should invest in cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable energy sources rather than ramp up fossil fuel production and continue relying on foreign energy exports From March: When asked about changes to infrastructure in light of the IPCC report, an overwhelming majority (81 percent) of voters, said they would support government investments to increase the climate resilience of our buildings, roads, bridges, and other structures But here's the thing, and I think you know this, and it might even be you: lots – lots – of voters who are registered, and even those who do vote in presidential elections – don't turn out for midterms. Much less for state and local races. Even registered voters who list the environment or climate as their most important issue do the same. Millions of them don't turn out. Success might not actually be about identifying and focusing on one specific issue, campaign, or candidate. It might come down to how we want to see ourselves, why we wear those little “I Voted” stickers, how we identify, and our behaviors. And that's what the Environmental Voter Project is all about. My guest today is Nathaniel Stinnett. Nathaniel founded the Environmental Voter Project in 2015 after over a decade of experience as a senior advisor, consultant, and trainer for political campaigns and issue-advocacy nonprofits.  Hailed as a "visionary" by The New York Times, and dubbed "The Voting Guru" by Grist magazine, Stinnett is a frequent expert speaker on cutting-edge campaign techniques and the behavioral science behind getting people to vote.  Nathaniel has held a variety of senior leadership and campaign manager positions on U.S. Senate, Congressional, state, and mayoral campaigns, and he sits on the Board of Advisors for MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative.  And he's here to help me understand the EVP's mission and tactics, and how we can help them achieve their goal of turning out more climate-focused voters this year and in the years to come. ----------- Have feedback or questions? http://www.twitter.com/importantnotimp (Tweet us), or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.com New here?

Nathaniel Stinnett on how to make our leaders protect the environment: turning non-voting environmentalists into voters by the droves. A Special Bonus Episode. In this second of two special bonus episodes to Season One of the Mother Earth Podcast, we sit down for a timely conversation with Nathaniel Stinnett.  Nathaniel is the founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project. The EVP knows EXACTLY how to find non-voters who rank the environment as their top electoral priority and turn them into voters.  Nathaniel founded the Environmental Voter Project in 2016 to turn millions of non-voting environmentalists into voters. And he has seriously succeeded. In the 2020 presidential election, Nathaniel and his colleagues turned tens of thousands of historically non-voting environmentalists into voters in Georgia, more than the margin of victory. They did the same thing in Arizona. And across the country in 12 states they turned out hundreds of thousands of environmental voters who formerly were non-voters. In my conversation with Nathaniel, he explains how the EVP uses sophisticated big data to identify non-voting environmentalists and then employs cutting edge persuasion techniques based on behavioral psychology to turn them into voters. They test their methods against control groups and these tests have proved that their methods work. And EVP shows up over and over in local and state races throughout the country to ensure that the voting habit sticks over time. Tune in to this episode to hear about this fascinating and absolutely critical approach to turning the tide on the politics of climate change. Most importantly, tune in to learn how YOU can get involved RIGHT NOW in the Georgia Senate elections. The EVP is running Georgia voter phone banks throughout December and right up to the last day of voting on January 5. The voting already has begun in Georgia so there is not a minute to spare. Jump on the EVP website NOW and volunteer and donate. Your time and money will not go toward some useless TV ad but to proven techniques that WILL turn out key voters. As always, the podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or any other podcast app with the links on our website. To support the podcast, please tell your friends and family about it and share online. My conversation with Nathaniel gave me more hope on the climate crisis and our other pressing environmental problems than anything I have heard in a very long time. I think you'll find it inspiring too. For People and Planet, thank you for listening.    

This week, Nathaniel Stinnett, founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, joins the show to answer one basic question: what the hell is going on with environmental voters? Just kidding...kinda. We dig into the facts with Nathaniel to better understand what motivates environmentally-friendly voters, why it matters that many don't vote, and how to build long-term change in the electorate.  Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss the Trump Administration's soot rule and the selection of Xavier Becerra to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

At least 40 million Americans have already cast a ballot in early voting, with still more than a week until Election Day. In this episode of Political Climate, we examine if environmental issues are mobilizing voters the way that analysts anticipated. Who are those voters and do they hold sway? We discuss with Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the Environmental Voter Project, a non-partisan organization focused on identifying inactive environmentalists across the United States and turning them into reliable voters in every election. This year, the stakes are especially high. Control of the U.S. Senate is very much in play, while Joe Biden and Donald Trump duke it out for the White House with wildly different policy platforms. Could environmental voters tip the scales?We also consider how fracking and natural disasters are playing into the 2020 election cycle, as well as the rise of “big green” political donors. Plus, we check in on a Texas election bet.

As the US presidential election nears, we wanted to re-share a conversation we had on Warm Regards in October of 2018 with Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project. Many of the things we discussed with him then, especially why lots of environmentalists don't vote, are just as relevant today. After the 2018 conversation, Nathaniel shares an update about the organization's work leading up to this year's presidential election and how you can get involved beyond voting.

There are millions of Americans who care deeply about climate change but rarely cast their ballots. A home-based army of volunteers is changing that. The Environmental Voter Project and Vote Forward both target and motivate these infrequent voters. Their founders, Nathaniel Stinnett and Scott Forman, explain how this began, why it's working, and how you can join in.

It’s hard to overstate both the chaos and the stakes surrounding this year’s election. We’re currently facing the overlapping crises of an ongoing pandemic that has shifted the way we can carry out the electoral process, an economic crisis greater than we have seen in over a decade, and the ever-present realities of living in a climate altered world like the wildfires in the West, and this year’s hurricane season. As the climate crisis continues to climb as a top concern for likely voters in the U.S., we sat down with Sara Singh of Sunrise, and Nathaniel Stinnett of the Environmental Voter Project to understand the growing impact of climate and environmental justice in electoral politics.

This episode, part of our season-long look at the unexpected stories and effects of climate data, features two conversations about what people believe about climate change and what causes them to change those beliefs. First, we talk to Jenn Marlon to get an update on the changing numbers in the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication’s Six Americas survey. Then, we talk to former Representative Bob Inglis, who very publicly changed his beliefs on climate change, and now works to convince other fellow conservatives to support action on climate change.

It’s an action that enviros have yet to master. In looking at what led to the 2016 election debacle, it's hard to ignore a disturbing fact: environmentalists turned out to vote at rates significantly less than the nation as a whole. To try and work out how that could be possible, I talk with Nathaniel Stinnett who runs the Environmental Voter Project.

Environmentalists are known for their passion. Millions have marched, thousands skipped school in protest and organizations like Sunrise Movement are pushing policy on the US Presidential candidates - but are they actually voting? In the 2016 election nearly 10.1million self-described environmentalists did not vote. 10.1 million! This shocking statistic is what moved my next guest to get organized and get people voting. Nathaniel Stinnett is the Founder and Executive Director of EVP – the Environmental Voter Project – with one simple goal – get environmentalists to vote.To learn more - please visit - www.environmentalvoter.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There are millions of Americans who care deeply about climate change but rarely cast their ballots. A home-based army of volunteers is changing that.  The Environmental Voter Project and Vote Forward both target and motivate these infrequent voters. Their founders, Nathaniel Stinnett and Scott Forman, explain how this began, why it's working, and how you can join in.  

In this Climate One episode, our co-host Jeff Nesbit joins podcast host Greg Dalton, Vanessa Hauc of Telemundo, and Nathaniel Stinnett of the Environmental Voter Project to explore the continuing relevance of climate to the November election.  

After a fleeting moment atop the national political agenda last year, climate change has been eclipsed by the global pandemic. A recent poll from Yale found that public engagement on climate change is at or near historic levels. But will that matter when people vote? The Environmental Voter Project asserts that many people who say they care about climate and the environment don't actually cast ballots. Further, when talking to pollsters they lie and say they did vote. How will mainstream media cover climate in national and regional elections? Will President Trump's stance on climate hurt Republicans in down-ballot races? Do Joe Biden's policy positions on climate really matter? Join us with Vannessa Hauc, journalist and senior correspondent at Noticias Telemundo, Jeff Nesbit, executive director at Climate Nexus, and Nathaniel Stinnett, founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, for a conversation on climate coverage in the race for the presidency.

Step one to generate political will for climate solutions is to get people who care about the environment to vote. When Nathaniel Stinnett found out that environmentalists, by and large, were staying home on election day, he saw a problem in need of a solution. That's why in 2015 he launched the Environmental Voter Project, which identifies environmentalists who don't vote and reaches out to get them to the polls. On this month's call, Nathaniel will share some of the ways his organization has successfully activated this important bloc of voters.

Michael Bloomberg is showing strong signs of entering the 2020 Presidential Race. The former New York City Mayor has a long list of climate accomplishments — but a shaky relationship with some activists. Then, Nathaniel Stinnett of the Environmental Voter Project on how to change the voting behavior of potential "super-enviro" citizens.

The climate movement doesn’t have a persuasion problem; it has a turn out problem. Data reveal that environmentalists don’t show up to vote as often as the overall population in an election. So what gives? And could this impact races in 2020?In this episode of Political Climate we take a hard look at how many Americans care about climate issues, and how many of those people actually vote — or don’t.To figure this out the podcast team sat down with Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the Environmental Voter Project, a non-partisan non-profit that identifies environmentalists across the United States and makes sure that they vote in every election.We also discussed a new Democratic proposal to achieve 100 percent carbon neutrality by 2050. The idea was recently put forward by a group of more moderate, established Democrats rather than progressives. Is this a sign of policy alignment on the left? Or will this so-called Green New Deal alternative be a source of conflict within the party?We recorded this show live on stage last week at the Sun Valley Forum in Ketchum Idaho.

Historically, polls have shown that environmentalists are terrible at voting. In the 2014 midterm election, more than 15 million environmentalists didn't show up on Election Day. And to be clear, all of them were already registered and already committed to environmental issues. So why are they so bad at voting? And will they turn out in the midterm elections? We dig into the topic with Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the non-partisan organization, Environmental Voter Project. He has a plan for getting environmentalists to the polls on November 6th.

After a year of climate-amplified fires and hurricanes around the country, New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel tells host Greg Dalton how climate and energy issues are playing in the midterm elections. Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the Environmental Voter Project, describes what his organization is doing to mobilize the more than 10 million Americans who cite environmental protection as a core value but who don't vote regularly. And Sam Arons, Director of Sustainability at Lyft, explains how his company is encouraging its employees and customers to get out and vote. Guests: Trip Gabriel, political reporter, The New York Times Nathaniel Stinnett, Founder & Executive Director, The Environmental Voter Project Sam Arons, Director Sustainability Lyft

Using data mining and modeling, Stinnett has discovered a millions of passionate environmentalists, who defy our stereotypes. Now he's working to get them to the polls.

Environmentalists don't vote. At least not nearly as much as the general population. They have a turnout problem. By Nathaniel Stinnett's estimate, 10.1 million registered voters who consider climate change or the environment as one of their top two priorities, sat out the 2016 presidential election. An even larger number stayed home for the 2014 midterms. But for Stinnett, those big numbers mean a big opportunity. Right now, his Environmental Voter Project is targeting 2.4 million environmentalists in Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Pennsylvania – registered voters who are considered unlikely to vote. Stinnett employs an unusual messaging strategy to get them to the polls– which he explains in our conversation. If he succeeds, he believes no candidate will be able to get their name on a ballot without talking about the environment.

On this special episode of the Rising Tide Summit podcast we are joined by Nathaniel Stinnett, the founder of the Environmental Voter Project. He’s been hailed as a "visionary" by The New York Times, and dubbed "The Voting Guru" by Grist magazine and he’s focusing on getting get more environmentalists to vote in every election. On this episode we learn that over 15 million identifiable environmentalists have stayed at home on Election Day. And while tens of millions of Americans strongly prioritize progressive environmental policies – the real problem is that these people do not vote. We wanted to learn why this was the case and what Nathaniel and his team at Environmental Voter Project are doing to get more people involved in the political process.
