Systematic assessment of climate change risk perceptions in Singapore

Principal Investigator:

This study adopts a systematic approach to the study of public perceptions of sea level rise, drought and flood and other climate-related risks and related interventions in Singapore to support the design of communications interventions to close the gap between the risk perceptions of experts and lay people. The next phase of this study will test the impact of communications interventions on understanding of risks and motivation to take appropriate protective actions among members of the public.
