摘要

This study explores the relationship between self-reported war impacts on personal lives and climate change concerns in Ukraine, challenging the "finite pool of worry" hypothesis. Based on survey data, the research reveals that individuals who perceive their lives as critically affected by the war exhibit heightened climate change concerns, suggesting that severe crises can amplify awareness of interconnected global risks. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of risk perception in societies navigating multiple crises and emphasize the importance of environmental considerations in post-conflict dialogue and reconstruction efforts. The study underscores the complex social dynamics of risk perception, advocating for a shift beyond individual psychological explanations toward a more comprehensive understanding of how societies collectively navigate interconnected threats.
