While its common in the US and similar environments, I think that's not a helpful framing of political interests. To be explicit, I think pinning things on the left or right gives people a way to characterise a problem which should be inspected analytically. For example, painting climate change as a 'leftist' cause is not ideal. That's because calling it leftist is common tactic to paint climate scientists as comparable to marginalised groups (who are seen as easier to tease). The issue here is that it detracts from the practicality of the climate action discussion (what are the bottlenecks for each option, vested interests and what to do, etc) and its in poor taste to the marginalised groups.
