Abstract
Climate change, in its social and psychological dimension is related to the environmental public health. Natural disasters and environmental catastrophes have direct and indirect effects on collective and personal health, not only does the media reduce or maximize these effects, but also determine lifestyles. In this sense, the objective of this study was to specify a model of risk communication in order to establish the importance of perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, intentions and behaviors on social responsibility, a sense of community or feelings of guilt, fear, anger, indignation, frustration or anxiety towards climate change and its effects on public health. For this purpose we reviewed published studies during the period from 2010 to 2014 in indexed databases. Such an exercise will allow to discuss the relevance of the model in locations vulnerable to droughts or floods.
