Farmers' perception on combined climatic and market risks and their adaptive behaviors: a case in Shandong Province of China

Lyu Yarong et al.

Summary: This paper utilized original survey data from Shandong province in China to examine local farmers' perceptions of combined climatic and market risks and their adaptive behaviors. The results demonstrate that farmers' risk perception significantly impacts their adoption of adaptive measures, with males and better educated farmers showing a greater willingness to take action to avert risks.

How stable are Australian farmers' climate change risk perceptions? New evidence of the feedback loop between risk perceptions and behaviour

Sarah Ann Wheeler et al.

Summary: The study explores the dynamic relationship between climate change risk perceptions and farm adaptation behavior among farmers in the southern Murray-Darling Basin. It found that farmers with increased risk exposure were more likely to agree climate change posed a risk, but their attitudes were unstable over time. The presence of a feedback loop between risk perceptions and behavior was suggested as a reason for this instability.

The relationship between country and individual household wealth and climate change concern: the mediating role of control

Celine Nauges et al.

Summary: The more wealth a country or household has, the less concerned they are about climate change, as they believe they have more control over the impacts of climate change. The study confirmed a significant negative relationship between individuals' perceptions of the seriousness of climate change and the wealth of their country and household.

The drivers associated with Murray-Darling Basin irrigators? future farm adaptation strategies

Constantin Seidl et al.

Summary: In the face of future uncertainty due to changes in markets, industry structures, and climate, irrigators in the Murray-Darling Basin will need to adapt. The study found that succession planning and past adaptation experience significantly influence planned future adaptation, with financial capital being the strongest driver for accommodating adaptation. Expansive and contractive adaptation are more strongly impacted by human and social capital variables.

Drivers of household and agricultural adaptation to climate change in Vietnam

Colm Duffy et al.

Summary: The study reveals that farm households in Vietnam are increasingly implementing planned adaptation measures in response to climate change, with those relying more on agricultural income being more likely to do so. Factors such as training, on farm support, and financial assistance contribute to enhancing households' adaptive capacity, while income diversification increases the implementation of planned adaptation measures.
