Abstract

Based on two surveys among Dutch homeowners, we find evidence for a disconnect between flood risk awareness and intentions to mitigate climate change. In terms of awareness, we find that owners of at-risk properties are 9.8 percentage points more likely to see floods as the main threat to their home. However, at-risk owners are also 4.6 percentage points less likely to consider improving their property’s energy efficiency. Trust in flood protection turns out to be a moderator variable. In particular, at-risk owners with high levels of trust are less likely to consider improving energy efficiency than at-risk owners with low levels of trust in flood protection. We discuss implications for climate risk communication.

洪水风险与气候变化：房主的认识与减灾行动脱节？

根据对荷兰房主的两项调查，我们发现洪水风险意识与减缓气候变化的意愿之间存在脱节。在意识方面，我们发现高风险房产的业主将洪水视为其房屋主要威胁的可能性要高出 9.8 个百分点。然而，高风险房产的业主考虑提高其房产能源效率的可能性也要低 4.6 个百分点。事实证明，对防洪措施的信任是一个调节变量。特别是，与对防洪信任度低的高风险业主相比，信任度高的高风险业主考虑提高能源效率的可能性更低。我们讨论了气候风险交流的意义。

期刊介绍： Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on the use of knowledge and information regarding the consequences of climate variability and climate change in decision and policy making on climate change responses from the near- to long-term. The concept of climate risk management refers to activities and methods that are used by individuals, organizations, and institutions to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making. Its objective is to promote sustainable development by maximizing the beneficial impacts of climate change responses and minimizing negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.
