👉 In summary, in an understudied population, on a relatively novel behavior we tested the effects of TPB variables plus experience of EWE. Subjective norms, PBC and EWE were shown to be predictive of intentions to engage in water conservation.

👉 A novel aspect of the current research was the testing of EWE as a moderator of relationships between TPB variables as predictors and intentions or behavior as outcomes.

👉 INTERESTING FINDING. EWE significantly moderated the effect of attitude on intention, with attitudes only significantly predicting intention at moderate and higher levels of EWE. TBP + EWE explained 10.2% of the variance in self‐reported water conservation behavior.

👉 The results show that TBP + EWE explained 23.4% of the total variance of the intentions to conserve water (age, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, EWE significant predictors).

👉 The present research tested the power of the TPB in predicting the intention and behavior of water conservation in an understudied population. Furthermore, the role of experience with extreme weather events (EWE) within the TPB was explored both as a main effect on intentions and behavior.

👉 The scarcity of water and water security constitute global challenges, particularly affecting vulnerable countries in South America. Indigenous communities bear the brunt of this issue due to their heightened vulnerability and limited resources to mitigate its effects

Exposure to most types of extreme weather events did not predict policy support.
Thanks to the super team Viktoria Cologna Niels G. Mede & TISP Consortium

Most people support climate policy and link extreme weather events to climate change.
Subjective attribution of extreme weather events was positively associated with support for five widely discussed climate policies.

Thank you very much to all the team 🙌: Marian M. Poblete, Enma Huaman, Eliana Ibarra , Daniel L. Mendoza and Daniel Horna.

👉 Interesting finding: the air quality recorded has shown moderate levels of pollution and residents perceive a significant risk of exposure affecting their health, the main challenge is to find solutions that integrate social, health and engineering perspectives.

More than 70% of the participants consider that green areas contribute to mitigate temperatures on sunny days and that these green areas are natural and contribute to reduce atmospheric pollution.

👉 Air quality measurements revealed elevated levels of PM2.5 and NO2, with 40–60% of data falling within “Moderate” or “Unhealthy for sensitive groups”.
👉 People perceive a high risk of atmospheric pollution and above all report being very concerned about the effects on health

👉 Air pollution is a growing environmental and public health concern, particularly in urban areas where vehicular emissions, industrial activities, and public events contribute to deteriorating air quality.
