CCAS
The Climate Change Attitude Scale (CCAS) measures individuals' beliefs about climate change causation, severity, and human responsibility, as well as attitudes toward climate action and climate policy. Developed by Li and Monroe (2019) as an extension of general environmental attitude scales, the CCAS focuses specifically on climate change perceptions—whether individuals believe climate change is real, anthropogenic (human-caused), severe, and actionable. The scale is essential for tracking public opinion on climate, identifying populations skeptical of climate science, evaluating climate communication campaign effectiveness, and examining links between climate beliefs and policy support or climate action.
