    International agreements to reduce anthropogenic environmental disasters rely on public pressure driving local action. We study whether focused media and increased public outcry can drive local environmental action, reducing environmental damage. Although an annual affair, forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon received unprecedented public scrutiny in August 2019. Comparing active fires in Brazil versus those in Peru and Bolivia in a difference-in-differences design, we find that increased public attention reduced fires by 22% avoiding 24.8 million MtCO2 in emissions. Our results highlight the power of public attention to compel local action on pressing environmental issues.

    This study examines how the occurrence of natural disasters in the U.S. influences investor interest in green assets and actual investments, focusing on inflows into green ETFs as a proxy for non-fundamental demand. Event study analyses demonstrate both increases in investor interest in eco-friendly investments (proxied by Google searches) and inflows into green ETFs following disasters, driven by the period following the 2015 Paris Agreement. The additional inflows average about $4.3 million in the week directly following disasters, compared to average inflows of around $1.1 million in the non-disaster reference window. Importantly, both effects disappear when other attention-grabbing events, such as terrorist attacks or mass shootings, occur simultaneously with disasters. Analysis of climate change coverage across U.S. media suggests that media attention devoted to climate change concerns drives the documented shifts in investor behavior towards green investments. Furthermore, analysis of flows in brown ETFs (e.g., the oil and gas sector) reveals analogous disinvestments in the wake of disasters, but notably, only in the absence of concurrent distracting events.
