The Role of Collective Efficacy in Climate Change Adaptation in India

The research identifies a positive correlation between collective efficacy and climate change adaptation in India, specifically regarding water scarcity. Findings indicate that individuals with strong collective efficacy beliefs are more likely to engage in community water supply activities, and that community-level collective efficacy is positively associated with self-reported adaptation responses.

• Individuals with strong collective efficacy beliefs are more likely to participate in community activities to ensure adequate water supplies, and this effect is more pronounced in communities that already possess high levels of community collective efficacy.
• There is a positive association between community collective efficacy and the self-reported adaptation responses of the community.
• Public education campaigns that focus on increasing collective efficacy beliefs have the potential to increase adaptive capacity.
