Public Concern about Water Safety, Weather, and Climate: Insights from the World Risk Poll

Joshua F. Inwald et al.

Summary: Water safety refers to the quality of drinking water and whether it contains dangerous contaminants. Limited access to safe water is estimated to affect around 5 billion people globally by 2050. Climate change and worsening severe weather events pose increasing threats to global water safety, but people may not realize the connection between climate change and water safety, which could undermine their willingness to take actions to improve water safety. This study analyzed survey data from the 2019 Lloyd's Register Foundation World Risk Poll in 142 countries to examine the relationship between people's concerns about severe weather, climate change, and water safety.
