Son yıllarda gerçekleşen doğal felaketlerin artışı, bölgesel aşırı yağışlar, yangınlar ve kuraklık gibi faktörler, iklim krizinin toplum gözünde bir uyarı niteliğinden çıkarak somut gerçek halini almasına neden olmuştur. Bireyler önceki on yıllara oranla çok daha sık biçimde doğa olayları felaketlerle yüzleşmiş veya bunları iletişim teknolojileri vasıtasıyla izleme, gözlemleme şansı yakalamıştır. Buna bağlı olarak, varlığına insan kaynaklı olduğuna dair şüphelerin önemli ölçüde azaldığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, küresel ısınmanın olduğu varlığının artık ölçekte toplumsal anlamda kabul edilmesinin doğurduğu yakın gelecekte doğuracağı tahmin edilen sonuçlar irdelenmektedir. Çalışma kriz algısının gelişmesi sonucu kamu yönetiminden aksiyon beklentisinin artacağını ileri sürmektedir.

Çalışma, taleplerin karşılanması pahasına çözüm odaklı politikalardan uzaklaşılmaması gerektiğini Uzun vadeli, bilimsel veriler ışığında, katılımcı kararlı politikaların benimsenmesi kararlılıkla uygulanmasının gerekliliği ortaya konulmaktadır. önemi krizine yönelik yeni çıkan eko-kaygı eko-keder kavramları siyasal bilimler perspektifinden ele almasıdır. konuda uluslararası yayınlar son birkaç yılda artmakta olsa da Türkçe literatürde konunun henüz yeterince çalışılmadığı
