Abstract: A key challenge lies in understanding why individuals fail to adopt adaptive behaviours despite the increasing availability of hazard information. This conference addressed a critical gap in the field of risk perception and adaptive behaviour. The current landscape suffers from fragmentation, with numerous independent case studies lacking a unified theoretical framework. This hinders comparability and generalizability of findings across various contexts and scales, thereby limiting the effectiveness of policy and risk management recommendations. The prevalent reliance on socio-psychological theories and methodological individualism within past research designs restricts the focus on broader socioecological processes and the crucial role of socio-cultural context in shaping risk perception. A more diverse theoretical foundation is necessary to facilitate cross-validation of case studies and a deeper understanding of risk across different contexts.
