title = "Vaccination-hesitancy and global warming: distinct social challenges with similar behavioural solutions",
abstract = "Although the COVID-19 vaccine has dramatically changed the fight against the pandemic, many exhibit vaccinationhesitancy. At the same time, continued human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases pose an alarming threat to humanity. Based on the theory of Subjective Expected Relative Similarity (SERS) and a recent international study that drastically modified COVID-19 health-related attitudes, we explain why a similar approach and a corresponding public policy are expected to help resolve both behavioural issues: reduce vaccination hesitancy and motivate climate actions.",
