135The impacts of climate change and related hazards are increasingly
being felt across the world. It is recognised that climate change is la
rgely anthropogenic and caused by a continuous worsening of environmental conditions.
Whether and to what extent these hazards will result in human fatalities de-
pends on the vulnerability of the people affected, or positively put, on their ro-
bustness and resiliency. People can choose to respond to the prospect of climate
change and decide what steps to take. At community level, they can develop new
technologies that will allow economic development while reducing the anthropo-
genic contributions to climate change. At individual level, the most aware people
react to climate change by adopting responsible behaviours. Thus, an important
question is whether and how people are aware of the environmental worsening
conditions. In this paper, we examine the spreading of the fear for climate change in the
27 countries of European Union. Using the Eurobarometer 2011 survey and
multilevel logistic regression models with individuals nested in countries, we
found a high level of heterogeneity in people’s concerns about climate change
across Europe and, within countries, across individuals with different socio-
demographic characteristics. Highly educated people and those who have, or
plan to have, children are the groups most concerned about the future challenge
posed by climate change
