在不同国家内部和不同国家之间，个人对气候变化风险的看法存在很大差异。如何解释世界各地对气候变化风险认知的差异？气候变化作为一种风险是相对独特的，因为人们很难直接体验到它，甚至很难在纯粹的感知或感官层面上察觉到它。事实上，社会科学和行为科学的研究表明，尽管人们可能正确地感知到长期气候条件的一些变化，但心理因素在决定公众如何感知气候变化风险方面往往更有影响力。事实上，几十年的研究表明，认知、情感、社会和文化因素都极大地影响着公众对风险的感知，而这些因素又常常以复杂的方式相互作用。然而，尽管各种各样的认知、经验、社会文化和人口特征都被证明是相关的，但在解释和预测世界各地的气候变化风险感知方面，是否存在某些因素系统地脱颖而出？即便如此，我们所说的“风险感知”究竟是什么意思，以及衡量风险感知的方式在多大程度上影响了结果？最后但并非最不重要的是，公众对气候变化的关注在决定人们对该问题的行为参与程度和政策支持程度方面有多重要？
Individuals, both within and between different countries, vary substantially in the extent to which they view climate change as a risk. What could explain such variation in climate change risk perception around the world? Climate change is relatively unique as a risk in the sense that it is difficult for people to experience directly or even detect on a purely perceptual or sensory level. In fact, research across the social and behavioral sciences has shown that although people might correctly perceive some changes in long-term climate conditions, psychological factors are often much more influential in determining how the public perceives the risk of climate change. Indeed, decades of research has shown that cognitive, affective, social, and cultural factors all greatly influence the public’s perception of risk, and that these factors, in turn, often interact with each other in complex ways. Yet, although a wide variety of cognitive, experiential, socio-cultural and demographic characteristics have all proven to be relevant, are there certain factors that systematically stand out in explaining and predicting climate change risk perception around the world? And even if so, what do we mean, exactly, by the term “risk perception” and to what extent does the way in which risk perception is measured influence the outcome? Last but certainly not least, how important is public concern about climate change in determining people’s level of behavioral engagement and policy-support for the issue?
