Abstract
Can preferences for the environment be shaped? In line with the theories of social psychology, we show that natural disasters experienced during early adulthood induce pro-environmental attitudes. We support our findings by exploiting yearly natural disaster variation both within the US and across a sample of 102 countries whose citizens experience disasters at different points in time.
