Abstract

In modern times, trust has become an issue crucial to human societies and it has basic role in confronting policies with social problems, particularly in the field of environmental risks. To counter environmental risks such as climate change requires knowledge that is gained through trust to its related informational institutions. The article is based on a comparative study between Iranian and Czech students participating in the research. In both countries, the research conducted in April 2014 was done using the quantitative approach and the method of survey. The results of the research show the different level of social awareness between Iranian and Czech students. Correlation analysis showed a significant statistical relationship between social awareness and trustworthy environmental informational resources. The improvement of social consciousness through trustworthy environmental information resources especially the consolidation of links between ENGOs and governments are crucial prerequisites for ecological modernization of society.
