Abstract

Climate change marked by global warming had been becoming an inconvenient fact and changing the world remarkably. Human behavior as the most significant determinant constraints the adaptation to climate change. Based on the statistic data and information from investigation in Mohe, Heilongjiang Province, theories of Environmental Psychology and Behavioral Economics have been used to analyze the human perception and cognition to climate change. (1) Life activities, agricultural production activities and natural phenomena observation activities are three important paths of human perception. Among them, people are more sensitive to the change of life activities, and then the natural phenomena. (2) On the basis of the perception, peasants’ environmental cognition have been formed, which showed that the temperature has continued to increase from the 1960s, the beginning and the end time of four seasons have changed, as well as the duration of them. (3) Human cognition on climate change in Mohe corresponds well with the statistic data.
