Global climate change is one of America's most significant long-term policy challenges. Human activity--especially the use of fossil fuels, industrial processes, livestock production, waste disposal, and land use change--is affecting global average temperatures, snow and ice cover, sea-level, ocean acidity, growing seasons and precipitation pattern...

The importance of narrowing the focus down to the individual level is rooted in behavioral economics: how individuals make decisions and how researchers think they should make these decisions often differ. Whether through habit, custom, law or external framing, individuals tend to make decisions based on risk assessment in their daily lives and do not spend much effort to consider relevant decision frameworks for each particular situation (Council, 2011). This is also a prominent issue in the climate change context, because local scale extreme events present a combination of high stakes and low probabilities, which sets the stage for individuals to exhibit biased behavior when making adaptation decisions. ...
