The Prioritization of Climate Change in Displaced Communities: Evidence from Somalia

The prioritization of climate change is important for individuals and international organizations. While existing work can explain why some individuals or organizations might prioritize climate change over others (e.g., Allan, 2017; Bergquist & Warshaw, 2019; Clark & Zucker, 2023), little experimental work exists on increasing prioritization, particularly in communities most adversely affected by climate change in the Global South. In this study, we therefore ask the following question: Can we increase the prioritization of climate change by conveying information in a more effective manner?
