“…Although some studies have provided a technical solution that is appropriate for resolving the problems related to climate change [78], public participation is crucial for realizing programs and policies to ensure the effective implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in a democratic society [79]. Enhanced public participation is vital for fostering individual actions, enabling people to play an active role in climate change mitigation in public debates, and promoting public support for climate protection policies [80][81][82].…”

Climate change is the result of anthropogenic activities and will lead to widespread and rapid changes on Earth in the following decades. The climate change crisis has led to economic, social, and cultural crises worldwide. This study analyzes the factors impacting the voluntary actions of individuals to mitigate the climate change crisis. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire survey from 650 Korean adults. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical program IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The results show that the factors affecting an individual’s willingness to act on climate change mitigation were gender, social class, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived obstacles, environmental attitude, and social exclusion. In particular, the results show that social exclusion had a moderating effect on the severity of the willingness to act on climate change mitigation. Regarding the moderating effect of social exclusion, significance was determined for gender, social class, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived obstacles, environmental attitude, and social exclusion (R2 = 0.617). The government should thus make efforts to reduce social exclusion in order to strengthen individuals’ willingness to act on climate change mitigation.

“…Including a broader set of stakeholders provides different kinds of knowledge and promotes finding innovative solutions to complex problems. This shift from a technocratic "top-down" approach to a more sociocratic "bottom-up" approach is growing in popularity for water managers (Ricart 2018).…”

Water governance includes the range of political, social, economic, and administrative systems that develop and manage water resources and water service delivery at different levels of society. Social learning constitutes a reflective practice, experimentation, shared understanding, and utilization of diversity for gaining and sharing new knowledge (individually or collectively) to enable change. Participation refers to an exchange forum to facilitate communication between government, key stakeholders, and end-users. That is a feasible framework for generating new ideas, theories, methods, techniques, and a favorable context for the review, verification, adjustment, and redesign of existing knowledge. The concept, however, can also be interpreted as an opportunity to influence topics that are motivating confronted points of view. Stakeholder engagement constitutes the practice of interacting with and be influenced by according to the overall benefit of the project and its advocates. The successful completion of a project usually depends on how the stakeholders perceive it. Their requirements, expectations, perceptions, personal agendas, and concerns will influence the project, shape what success looks like, and affect the outcomes that can be achieved. Successful engagement depends on understanding who to engage with (key stakeholders), for what reason (scope, purpose, challenge), from what perspective (culture, values), and with what methods (techniques, tools).

The scientific understanding of climate change is firmly established; it is occurring, it is primarily due to human activities, and it poses potentially serious risks to human and natural systems. Nevertheless, public understanding of this phenomenon varies widely among farmers and the public, the two-target audience of this paper. This paper introduces two research questions: (1) How climate change is perceived by public-farmers’ nexus; and (2) How perception and populism (as a thin-ideology moved by social forces) interact? In order to address both questions, we review insights from different sources (literature, research projects, and public opinion services) over the last 10 years. The results proved how public experience of climate change is interdependent with the belief that climate change is happening. What is also notable is that the greater the years of farmers’ farming experiences, the greater the percentage rate of their climate change awareness. Differences among farmers and public perceptions were also noted. Uncertainty, coupled with skepticism, the media, and political will, are common findings when asking to farmers and the public for the main weaknesses in adaptation to climate change. However, scientific consensus, meteorological data, barriers to adaptation, and the role of technology are subjects in which both differ.
