Objectives:

Little research has examined how people adapt to climate change information & initiatives & most of the existing research is relatively narrow. By creating a consortium of multidisciplinary scholars we will:
1. examine how other values, intentions, beliefs & goals affect adaptive coping goals & behaviours

2. examine the full spectrum of adaptive and maladaptive coping behaviours

3. examine how we can improve adaptive coping through
a. social norms
b. priming
c. emotional stress management

4. examine how these factors operate in different, vulnerable population groups
