In this chapter, we first present an estimate of the potential for homophobic violence driven by religiously motivated extremism, estimated from data from the World Values Survey 2017 to 2022. on a population-weighted basis, 52.5% of the world's population can be classified as homophobic, that is, they disapprove of having a homosexual neighbour, and 12.8% of the population not only disapprove of having a homosexual neighbour, but also strongly believe that it is an essential part of democracy for religious institutions to interpret the laws 1. 2% of the world's population now not only are homophobic and believe that it is an essential part of democracy for religious institutions to interpret the laws, but also strongly believe that political violence is justified. We then present country estimates of this extremist religiously motivated homophobic population with the Philippines, Malaysia, Kenya, Ecuador, Zimbabwe, Canada, Spain, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Iraq leading the way. We then present a parametric factor analytical derived index of tolerance, social gender norms, and democracy, and show the results for the countries as a whole, and for their Muslim and Orthodox populations. we also analyze in this chapter homonegativity in the wider social context and discuss the very close relationship between homonegativity and phenomena, such as religious particularism, and restrictive gender, norms, documented by the United Nations Development Program and find evidence of the strong relationship between homonegativity and anti-Semitism.

Smallholder farmers are disproportionally vulnerable to climate change, and knowledge on cognitive factors and processes is required to successfully support their adaptation to climate change. Hence, we apply a qualitative interview approach to investigate smallholder farmers’ adaptation intentions and behavior. The theoretical Model of Private Proactive Adaptation to Climate Change has guided data collection and analysis. We conducted twenty semi-structured interviews with smallholder farmers living and working in Tiruchirappalli District in South India. We applied a qualitative content analysis by combining a content-structuring with a type-building approach. The systematic analysis resulted in four types of smallholder farmers that differ in the formation of adaptation intentions. Three of these types intend to adapt and follow different adaptation plans: (i) innovative measures that are new to the farm or region and are considered effective to overcome the detriments experienced from past efforts, (ii) contractive measures such as selling land or livestock, and (iii) retaining past measures they consider effective while relying on their access to resources. Only one type does not intend to adapt, emphasizing that rain is absolutely necessary to continue farming. We conclude that public efforts could focus on education and training programs adjusted to the farmers’ needs, measures to maintain or increase the fertility of land and farmers’ livelihood, flexible water conservation technologies and regular checking of dams, fostering combined adaptation and mitigation measures, providing access to loans up to debt cancellation, and offering physical and mental health programs.
