Abstract

This paper summarizes the current literature on public responses to climate change in China. The paper first provides a “macro view” by reviewing what we know about public climate change knowledge, risk perceptions, policy preferences, and behaviors based on large‐scale survey research. The paper also examines what sociodemographic, psychological, and cultural variables – such as age, gender, rural/urban status, and income – can best predict public understanding and responses to climate change. Second, it provides a “micro view” by presenting findings from place‐based and contextualized research projects in China. The review concludes by suggesting next steps to advance the understanding of public engagement with climate change in China. This article is categorized under: Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Perceptions of Climate Change
