“…In papers focusing on the stage of monitoring and evaluating adaptation, it emerges that trust plays a pivotal role in motivating CCA behaviors [61]. More precisely, increased levels of trust are associated with the adoption of adaptive measures for climate change [63] as well as with government-supported relocation strategies [66].…”

“…Ultimately, the disparities within countries between groups characterized by low and high levels of both community and institutional trust are substantially more pronounced in high-income nations compared to low-income ones [65]. Furthermore, Ekoh et al [66] have emphasized the importance of a lack of trust in the mobility adaptation strategies for residents impacted by extreme events. Individuals who have a low trust in institutions would prefer that migrants facilitate movement of migration and relocation by themselves.…”

There has been a growth in interest among academics and professionals in psychological trust dynamics during climate change adaptation. This literature review aimed to examine the research concerning trust dynamics in climate change adaptation from different levels of analysis, encompassing the different phases of adaptation and considering the importance of trust in climate change decision-making. The method consisted of systematically reviewing researches on this topic published in scientific articles, by using appropriate and relevant search keywords (e.g., trust, community, natural hazard, climate change adaptation, decision-making) in academic databases. A total of 25 studies met inclusion criteria. All the articles focused on the latter phases of the climate change adaptation cycle, specifically implementation and monitoring/evaluation, with limited attention devoted to decision-making related to earlier phases of preparation, assessment of risks, and identification and selection of adaptation options. The reviews also indicates that psychological trust is related to different adaptive actions (e.g., adoption of renewable energy technologies), and low- and high-impact mitigation behaviors (e.g., acceptance of paying taxes for actions that mitigate climate change). Therefore, this review underscores the significant role of psychological trust dynamics in shaping individuals’ decision-making processes concerning climate change adaptation, thereby yielding immediate and direct implications for climate systems. Therefore, it is essential to actively promote the culture of trust within the context of climate change adaptation.

“…3 A persistent decline in crop productivity may lead to food insecurity, hindering the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2, which focuses on zero hunger worldwide. 4 Environmental degradation is an existential threat to humans on Earth (Ekoh et al 2023 ). Due to the underlying concerns, the importance of natural settings is gaining global attention (Li et al 2023 ).…”

This study analyses the impact of GDP per capita, domestic credit, savings, and population on the environment in Pakistan from 1995 to 2019. The country has consistently been ranked eighth, fifth, and eight as an environmentally vulnerable nation from 1998 to 2017, 1999 to 2018, and 2000 to 2019, respectively. Therefore, the study explores the role of environmental awareness as a potential strategy for making peace with nature. Findings of the ARDL bounds testing approach confirm the long-run cointegration among variables of concern. In further assessment, the study determines that increased per capita income is detrimental to environmental quality in the long run. However, in the short run, it shows a favourable impact. On the other hand, domestic credit worsens the environment in the long and short runs. However, savings are positively insignificant in this regard. Furthermore, the total population significantly harms the environment in the long and short run. Fortunately, environmental awareness has emerged as a key solution to environmental degradation in Pakistan. Findings show that an increase in the dissemination of environmental awareness through the Internet, mobile, and landline phones, as well as by increasing education expenditures, mitigates the populations’ detrimental impact on the environment and improves environmental quality in the long run.
