Focus: Public and experts' views about climate change
Individuals' perceptions of, and beliefs about, climate change are affected by direct experience as well as the social, cultural and political context.

In this web focus, we present a collection of original research and opinion pieces that highlight the various dimensions of public and experts' interpretations of climate change.
