How cultures, country and type of measures influence adaptation behaviors

In this new work, building on the groundwork set forth in a recent meta analysis, we find marked differences in the factors driving household behavior, both based on the country of residence and the type of adaptation measures considered by the household...

Culture plays a role in climate change adaptation

To better encourage adaptation at a household level (and not just for the wealthy), it is critical that we better understand what motivates adaptation by looking at who adapts and why...

Coping with drought risk

In the perspective of increasing droughts risks because of climate change, adaptation is key to decrease farmer’s vulnerability and to secure the agricultural sector’s performance at the aggregate level. Using the results of a recent survey, we explore farmers’ adaptive behaviour to drought in the south-west Netherlands.

Drivers of urban resilience to climate change in the USA

This study explores several private adaptation responses to flood risk, that are driven by various behavioral triggers. We conducted a survey among households in hazard-prone areas in eight coastal states in the USA to examine the decision to retreat from flood zones.

Behavioral Data

Social sciences provide insights on how people make decisions, which preferences , perceptions and other behavioral factors guide them and how social interactions may influence individual choices. We rely on socio-economic surveys, semi-structured interviews and participatory workshops.
