“…From this recent milestone, local residents (the youngest) had better opportunities to access information. Therefore, we believe that the educational background of the younger population is the best explanation for their better understanding of climate change, given that studies show that people who have a higher level of education have a more sensitive perception of climate change [ 2 , 52 ]. We also highlight that electricity came to the communities along with the schools through the Federal Government Program Light for All [ 53 ], and from this achievement the access to information among the new generation became popular through television, radio, and the internet.…”

Is Sea Level Rise a Known Threat? A Discussion Based on an Online Survey

“…Generally speaking, it is thus of paramount importance to evaluate the knowledge of people about the causes and the effects of long-lasting phenomena, such as SLR, to set up the level of information and dissemination so as to improve prevention actions and adaptation planning. Although there are many publications about the SLR perception of the public around the world [1,10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], there are still only a few studies of the Mediterranean area [2,9,23,24]. The phenomenon has only recently been taken into account as a consequence of the increased awareness of climate change.…”

The impact of climate change on coastal erosion in Southeast Asia and the compelling need to establish robust adaptation strategies

“…Sea-level rise and other climate-related ocean changes will almost certainly force millions of people worldwide to flee their homes, with the poorest households bearing the brunt of the consequences [ 8 ]. Sea-level rise is challenging for low-lying island nations, affecting their entire economies and populations [ 4 , 11 ]. Therefore, coastal areas in South, Southeast, and East Asia with dense populations and low-lying elevations are particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise [ 12 ].…”
