Henning Zschietzschmann (Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge) will be presenting his work on “Extreme Weather, Climate Views, and Policy Responses in China”.
About this session: This paper examines how extreme weather events influence public climate views in China and how these views interact with local adaptation policy. Using prefecture-level data from 2011–2023, we link high-resolution weather indicators with a novel measure of citizen climate concern derived from over 200,000 online messages.

12.30-12.45 Light lunch and networking
12.45-13.45 Talk and Q&A.
Where: CRASSH meeting room (Alison Richards Building) on the Sidgwick site.
Lunch: A light lunch will be provided, but bring along your drink of choice!
Zoom: You can also join us virtually on Zoom.
The weekly climaTRACES workshops, organised by Kamiar Mohaddes and Henning Zschietzschmann, are attended by a diverse group of people from economics, geography, politics, engineering, business, earth sciences, natural sciences, and history, generating interdisciplinary discussion. One person leads the session, on either a paper they have written, a work in progress, or just an idea they have and would like feedback on. This is also an opportunity for people to find our more about the team on what climaTRACES have been up to and what future events and research projects are being developed.
