The 11 articles in this issue explore how people respond to climate change and other global challenges. The articles pursue three broad strands of enquiry that relate (1) to the effects and causes of "skepticism" about climate change, (2) the purely cognitive challenges that are posed by a complex scientific issue, and (3) the ways in which climate change can be communicated to a wider audience. Cognitive science can contribute to understanding people's responses to global challenges in many ways, and it may also contribute to implementing solutions to those problems.
本期的11篇文章探讨了人们如何应对气候变化和其他全球挑战。这些文章围绕三个广泛的探究方向展开：（1）与对气候变化“怀疑论”的影响和成因相关；（2）复杂科学问题所带来的纯粹认知挑战；（3）将气候变化信息传递给更广泛受众的方式。认知科学可以在许多方面有助于理解人们对全球挑战的反应，也可能有助于实施解决这些问题的方案。
