Johannes Jarke-Neuert, Grischa Perino, Henrike Schwickert (2023)

Why does greater participation not always translate into a stronger movement? Because the more people believe that others will turn up, the less motivated they feel to attend themselves. Field study of Germany's 2019 Global Climate Strike.

Hello,

The Research Library opens on 25 June 2026, and throughout the summer, I’ll begin publishing short explainers covering the purpose, key findings, and standout data points of each report, with some shorter than others to respect copyright.

The summary for this report isn’t online yet—but it’s coming soon.

Stay ahead of the climate conversation: sign up for Understories' Reading List to receive fortnightly updates directly in your inbox.

Thank you,

Caroline
