“…With this research, it has been determined that students with a high level of anxiety about climate change believe that poverty among risk groups may deepen as a result of climate change. This finding is consistent with literature that suggests that poverty may worsen due to climate change (Tol, 2018; Tonn et al, 2021). It is a known fact that poor countries will experience the impacts of climate change more severely than wealthier nations (Edvardsson Björnberg and Hansson, 2013; Quisumbing et al, 2018).…”

“…Poverty and climate change are also closely linked (Tol, 2018; Tonn et al, 2021), with climate change having a more severe impact on poor countries (Edvardsson Björnberg and Hansson, 2013; Quisumbing et al, 2018). As climate change worsens, comprehending the root causes of poverty and how poverty is perceived has become crucial in mitigating its effects and reducing its incidence (Tien, 2022).…”

This study aims to explore the impact of climate change anxiety on various aspects of social work and examine the relationship between anxiety and socio-demographic variables. The study’s participants comprised students enrolled in social work education programs in Turkey. The results suggest that students who are highly anxious about climate change express anxiety regarding various problem areas within social work. The study suggests that anxieties about climate change can potentially lead to anxiety within social work domains, thus exerting a negative impact on social work policy and practices.

“…For example, global warming changes the abundance and habitats of organisms that transmit diseases, i.e., vectors, which can shift the seasonal occurrence of several infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, dengue fever, West Nile virus) and cause them to spread. The adverse health effect of rising temperature is exacerbated by crowding, food, and water scarcity [44], and a much depends on the adaptation skills of public health systems, including vaccines and therapies [45].…”

The objective of this paper was to gain novel insights into the complex relationships among Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in shaping productivity (GDP/capita) growth. Using dynamic panel regressions on data collected in 138 countries between 2000 and 2017, we found that rising temperatures negatively affect growth and mitigate the impact of other SDGs on growth. We also found that CO2 emissions have a U-shaped relationship with growth; life expectancy negatively influences growth (positively moderated by rising temperatures), and food security positively impacts growth (negatively moderated by rising temperatures). This study highlights the difficulty of simultaneously implementing SDGs and elucidates novel research perspectives and policies to decrease the negative impacts of climate change on socio-economic and environmental well-being.

“…There are various factors behind the motivation to both remain in an area of significant flood risk and within a housing unit that may be inadequate, with factors related to culture, identity, and tradition, as well as economic opportunity, usually part of the calculation (Loucks et al, 2008;Seebauer & Winkler, 2020;Siegrist & Gutscher, 2006). Further, even when it is acknowledged that less than adequate housing exists, the development of policy to allow for relatively safe livelihoods may not benefit those who need it the most (Tonn et al, 2021). In addition, further specificity is needed in areas that are delineated as being at risk to various flood types (Lawrence et al, 2020) and in areas where they are not officially recognized as being at sufficient levels of risk (Smiley, 2020).…”

Are Underserved Populations Left Out of National Flood Mitigation Efforts and Facing Greater Impact? A Method to Assess Racial Inequality at the Census Tract Level

Development policies have systematically relegated certain populations to undesirable locations including areas at risk of flooding. Over time many properties will no longer be inhabitable and others will see damage from significant flooding. Current U.S. federal policy funds flood risk mitigation measures, such as property acquisition, relocation, and retrofitting; however, depending on various factors at the subcounty level, these actions can in some contexts provide disproportionate benefit to higher income, mostly White areas, failing to appropriately benefit underserved and exposed populations. Here, we present an exploratory method, building off existing research on programmatic-wide and event-specific analysis to explore patterns allowing state- and county-level decision-makers to identify inequalities in federal funding, potentially supporting reprioritization. This work evaluates the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claims data from 1975 to 2019 and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mitigation efforts from 1989 to 2018 to explore the distribution of mitigation measures related to tract to county racial disproportionalities (for example, majority non-White census tracts in majority White counties). We find that for majority non-White census tracts in majority White counties, there are disproportionately fewer NFIP claims. This supports previous work, which shows lower levels of assistance in flood recovery, resilience, and preparedness in these areas.
