Fig. 1: Individual perception and adaptation to climate change.
From: Aspirations versus adaptive achievements in the face of climate change in Sri Lanka
The analytical model integrates, not in any particular order, (i) exposure to climate risks; (ii) knowledge and experiences; (iii) values, norms and beliefs; (iv) vulnerability to climate risks; (v) adaptive capacity; and (vi) assets and capability to determine climate change threat perception and livelihood resilience. It centres around the two primary cognitive PMT mechanisms of threat and coping appraisal to ultimately determine livelihood resilience. The figure is modified from Mallick et al.33.
