“…are examined. Cvetković, Tomašević, and Milašinović (2019) determined that educational institutions, after the electronic media, are the most common way of informing the citizens of Belgrade about the security risks of climate change. Chou (2013) determined that the poor public confidence in the government's ability to fight climate change and the public has called for more risk coordination, transparency, and engagement in climate change policy-making.…”

The aim of the research is the examination of the factors influencing the public perception of climate change and its impact on natural disasters. This paper presents the results of quantitative research regarding testing the central hypothesis where education is the predicting variable of public perception of climate change and its impact on natural disasters. A multivariate regression analysis was used, identifying the extent of the total scores of the main dependent variables (perception of vulnerability to climate change, perception of the climate change impact on natural disasters, knowledge and fear scores) were associated with five demographic and socio?economic variables: gender, age, marital status, education level, and employment status. A series of 208 face?to?face interviews were conducted during the beginning of 2020 on the central squares in the selected cities in Serbia, Belgrade (76.92%) and Sremska Mitrovica (23.08%). The results showed that education level was the most effective predictor of the mentioned research variables. Besides, employment status has been found to affect perceptions of vulnerability, while age affects the perceptions of climate change. Based on the obtained results, policies and strategies to improve people's awareness of climate change must take into account a comprehensive understanding of behavioral dispositions.

The issue of future societal development has captured the attention of scientists and experts from different fields and it is increasingly associated with environmental capacity and quality. The reach and the topicality of the issue were identified more than 40 years ago, while the solution materialized years later as a new paradigm of societal development – sustainable development. Considering the subject of study of sociology and its significance for steering societal development, this author was faced with the question of how and to what extent Serbian sociologists deal in their theoretical and empirical studies with the nature-society relationship and with sustainable development as a globally accepted development model. The discussion in this paper is based on the articles published in leading Serbian national journals in the fields of sociology and multidisciplinary sciences. The first findings reveal that sociologists less frequently deal with the environment and sustainable development than other social scientists, such as jurists, economists, psychologists, pedagogists, or andragologists. In this author’s opinion, one of the reasons for the relative marginalization of sociological research on the society-environment relationship is the relatively belated inclusion of specialized sociological disciplines such as social ecology or environmental sociology in the curricula of sociology academic programmes.

Демографска обележја, посебно пол и степен образовања, као и политичке идеологије утичу на вредновање животне средине, перцепцију климатских промена и еколошки активизам.…”

“…Studies of public values and opinions are vital for environmental protection and the resolution of the issues stemming from climate change. This research topic was not only tackled by psychologists but also by sociologists (see Björn, et al, 2020;Brechin, 2010;Brechin, 2011;Casanova, Marteleira, 2018;Cvetković, Tomašević, Milašinović, 2019;Dietz, 2020;Dunlap, York, 2008;Hamilton, 2011;Hamilton, Stampone, 2013;Lorenzoni, Pidgeon, 2006;Miltojevic, Ilic Krstic, Petkovic, 2017;Nadić, 2011;Pajvančić, Ristić, 2011;Ungar, 1992;Wamsler, Alkan-Olsson, McCright, Marquart-Pyatt, Shwom, Brechin, Allen, 2016), who investigated and connected demographic characteristics, countries' levels of development, political affiliation, and the media influence on the formation and manifest expression of environmental awareness. The findings reveal that demographic characteristics, especially gender and level of education, as well as political ideologies have the strongest influence on environmental evaluation, climate change perception, and environmental activism.…”

This paper showcases the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to the examination of causes and effects of climate change, particularly the necessity of greater involvement of sociologists in the investigation of the causes and the offering of solutions to mitigate the effects. Accepting the view that present-day climate change is socially conditioned, the discussion relies on the assumption that climate change has indeed found its place in sociological research, only not to a sufficient extent. Based on the review of available literature, it was determined that the study of climate change was triggered by social ecologists and that climate change became a full-fledged subject of theoretical considerations and investigations into specific causes and effects. Since agriculture is one of the causes of climate change, the paper emphasizes the necessity of sociological research of the agricultural sector and its relation to climate change and proposes other potential research fields.
