Multilevel predictors of climate change beliefs in Africa

Fig 1. Key predictors for climate change awareness, anthropogenic climate change, and climate change-related risk perception. Top 15 predictors of climate change awareness (A) (69.4% prediction accuracy), human causation of climate change (C) (63.4% prediction accuracy), and risk perception (E) (73.9% prediction accuracy). (B) Partial dependence plot (PDP) of gender (female), access to online news (news tech), being favourable to one-party rule (authoritarian), and perceived agricultural conditions (agric. cond.) about climate change awareness. (D) PDP of mean temperature anomalies (temp. anom.), precipitation anomalies (precip. anom.), trust in institutions (trust institutions), and access to online news (news tech) over belief in human causation of climate change. (F) PDP of belief in human causation of CC (CC human cause), perceived severity of drought (drought percep.), perceived agricultural conditions (agric. cond.) and being favourable to one-man rule (authoritarian) over climate change risk perception. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0266387.g001 PLOS ONE Multilevel predictors of climate change beliefs in Africa PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0266387 April 5, 2022 7 / 14
