Abstract

This report summarises the background and topline findings from the Lagos case study of the Targeting Mental models of Climate change risk to facilitate Climate Action (MECCA) project. The research was conducted between 2019 and 2022 with the aim of integrating natural and social science expertise to develop an understanding of the bio-physical risks posed to Lagos by ongoing changes in the climate, how climate change and the associated risks are understood by Lagos residents, and how risk perceptions relate to people’s actions.
