to implement adaptation measures. Individual responses are in turn affected not only by capabilities but also by perceptions that climate change is real and requires a response . Perceptions of climate risks are formed by experiences of changes in local weather and extreme weather events , observations of environmental changes , experiences of and knowledge about climate change impacts  and individual characteristics such as values and worldviews  . Risk perceptions include both logical assessments about the likelihood and severity of climate change impacts and affective feelings about those impacts. On average, affective measures of risk perception are more strongly associated with disaster preparation than cognitive measures .
