TL;DR: The authors investigated the role of trust, risk perceptions and investigate the possibility of a "social trap" whereby a lack of trust blunts the effect of risk perceptions on public willingness to engage in behaviors or support policies to address climate change.

TL;DR: This paper found that trust in the oil and gas industry is a powerful predictor of a range of risk and benefit perceptions while other ostensibly important variables such as the extent of local drilling or the perceived economic significance of the oil industry have little role in risk-and benefit perceptions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider support for just transition policies among local policy actors in the Mountain West region, focusing on the role of accountability and community economic identity, indicating that comprehensive program to assist communities and workers negatively impacted by the energy transition might be politically possible.

TL;DR: Although climate change is an urgent problem, behavioural and policy responses have not yet been sufficient to either reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions or adapt to a disrupted climate as discussed by the authors, which is not the case for many countries.

TL;DR: A framework for a multidisciplinary research agenda that links school facilities, health, and educational outcomes is created and it is found that studies on the impact of physical environmental factors on health and occupant performance are largely independent of research on the social climate.
