Climate change risk perceptions, facilitating conditions and health risk management intentions: Evidence from farmers in rural China

The Impact of Climate Change Coverage on Public Adherence towards Health Threat: An Empirical Validation of the Health Belief Model

“…During climate change effects, this has been validated that a person with a high level of benefit perception was closer to possess a good adherence behavior (Akompab et al, 2013;Rauf et al, 2017). Climate change posits that it plays a positive role in upgrading health risk management (Li, Yuan, Yue, Zhang, & Huang, 2021). Perceived benefits refer to the perceived effectiveness of protective action in decreasing the level of a perceived threat against poor health outcomes in the case of climate change, especially smog (Wang, Yuan, & Lu, 2021).…”

Identifying Strengths and Obstacles to Climate Change Adaptation in the German Agricultural Sector: A Group Model Building Approach

“…Stakeholders can sometimes falsely believe that climate change would not affect them or that it will affect others sometime in the far future. Low risk perceptions and skepticism slows down and discourages climate change adaptation [10,11,19], while underestimating climate risk perceptions could lead to maladaptation or no adaptation at all [11,19] Because education and access to information is the main influencing stakeholders' perceptions on climate change [11,[13][14][15], information should be offered to stakeholder to promote informed climate change perceptions. Climate change communication can help increase the risk awareness of stakeholders [10].…”

“…Climate change perceptions are influenced by a multitude of factors including age, gender, political beliefs, education, farm size, emotions and personal experiences [10,12,13]. Perceptions, however, are significantly influenced by the level of education and access to weather and climate information [11,[13][14][15]. There is extensive evidence suggesting that farmer's climate change perceptions and awareness significantly influence their adaptation planning and adoption of adaptation practices [11][12][13][15][16][17][18][19].…”

There is extensive evidence suggesting that farmer's climate change perceptions and awareness significantly influence their adaptation planning and adoption of adaptation practices [11][12][13][15][16][17][18][19]. Therefore, implementing an assessment of perceptions is a prerequisite to identify factors that could affect the adaptation process [11,19] of both of agriculture [14] and water resources [20].…”

“…Despite the significant number of studies implemented around the world exploring stakeholders' perceptions on climate change [10][11][12][14][15][16][17][18][27][28][29], to our knowledge, no previous studies have focused on collecting the perceptions of farmers and other stakeholders in North East Lower Saxony. To fill this gap and support climate change adaptation we implemented this Group Model Building approach.…”
