DESCRIPTION:This talk examines how people perceive climate risk and why these perceptions often differ from expert assessments. Drawing on judgment and decision-making research\, it highlights key factors shaping climate risk perception\, including personal experience\, emotions\, beliefs about climate change\, trust in institutions\, and cognitive heuristics. These factors can lead individuals to overestimate some risks while underestimating others\, creating a gap between subjective perceptions and objective\, model-based risk estimates used by experts. The talk then considers how this gap influences behaviour and policy support\, and discusses how climate risk can be communicated more effectively by making it clearer\, more relatable\, and more relevant to people&rsquo\;s decisions.
Join us from 12.30 - 1.30pm online via Microsoft Teams.
