Public Perceptions of Climate Change and Health—A Cross-Sectional Survey Study
Researchers surveyed 697 German residents about their perceptions of climate change and its health impacts. While 85% agreed that human-induced climate change exists and 83% believed it affects health, most perceived the global population as more affected than themselves. The study suggests that cognitive dissonance may explain why people acknowledge climate health risks in general but underestimate their own personal vulnerability.
Vulnerability of Alaska Native tribes in the Chugach Region to selected climate and nonclimate stressors
Researchers assessed the vulnerability of Alaska Native tribes in the Chugach Region to climate and non-climate stressors over a 50-year horizon, drawing on a vulnerability assessment for the Chugach National Forest and Kenai Peninsula. The study documented community dependence on wild resource harvesting (97 kg per person annually across more than 140 species) and examined how projected temperature increases and decreasing coastal snowpack threaten subsistence-based food security.
