Climate change is a global issue that poses a significant risk to the global economy and therefore warrants co-ordinated collective action.Employing a questionnaire survey in China,this study presents urban residents\' behavioral response to climate change and its influencing factors.The results indicated that urban residents in Tianjin often took low-cost,intuitive,and quickly implementable actions,namely behavioral coping responses.Proactive adaptive behavior was also evident,which involved greater financial investment.Furthermore,ac-cording to regression analysis results of urban residents\' behavior and its influencing factors,knowledge of climate change manifested a positive correlation with urban residents\' behavioral coping response.In contrast,cost manifested a negative correlation with urban residents\' proactive adaptive behavior,which was a more complex,costly,and challenging anticipatory action.Knowledge of climate change manifested a positive correlation with both behavioral coping response and proactive adaptive behavior.Finally,recommendations for encouraging beneficial behaviors among urban residents are suggested.
