Despite the minority of blueprints for cultural work on climate change, it does not provide an instant answer for public apathy or failed policies, and the role of culture in modern climate change adaptation remains unexplored. Owing to the recent successive climatic changes, the role of culture has increased in deepening our understanding and awareness of how to confront and address the challenges facing us. Institutional cultures are essential in providing practical and appropriate solutions to tackle global climate change by influencing the formation of goals, maximizing success factors, and scientifically evaluating them. This has prompted climate experts to recognize the importance of culture in simplifying, understanding, and addressing the effects of climate change through adaptation or mitigation policies with the development of planning strategies, despite the lack of clear mechanisms for their application, especially in radioactive pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We relied on a survey based on previous studies to examine the role of the cultural theory of risk in reducing the effects of environmental risks, climate change, and the extent of university awareness. The survey was distributed it to a random sample of employees and students of Cairo University and other universities (211 votes) via internet. Adapting climate change requires a holistic approach and will help identify local and regional priorities, the development of new relationships for adaptation research and planning, barriers to climate change adaptation, and the transition from conflict to cooperation among diverse perspectives.
