Despite the findings on global climate change presented by the
scientific community, there remains a significant gap between its
recommendations and the actions of the public and policy makers. So
far scientists and the media have failed to successfully
communicate the urgency of the climate change situation in such a
way that long-term, comprehensive, and legally binding policy
commitments are being made on the national and international level.
This book examines the way the public processes information, how
they perceive threats and other perceptual factors that have a
significant effect on how and to what degree climate change
mitigation and adaptation strategies are supported. Understanding
public risk perception plays a vital role in communicating the
challenges of global climate change. Using a diverse range of
international case studies, this book explores the nature of public
perceptions of climate change and identifies the perception factors
which have a significant impact on the public's willingness to
support global climate change policies or commit to behavioral
changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve urban
resiliency. The comparative study of social and cultural factors,
beliefs, attitudes and trust provides an international overview of
best practices regarding the design, implementation and generation
of public support for climate change policies at a global level.
Offering valuable insight into climate change and risk
communication, the book should be of interest to students and
scholars of environment studies, politics, urban planning, and
media and cultural studies.
