This thesis emphasizes the undeniable threat that climate change poses to food-insecurity. I investigate whether respondents' perceived importance of food-insecurity increases after exposure to a treatment that frames food-insecurity as a direct result of climate change. Findings from a representative survey experiment reveal that partisanship and age consistently affect individuals' perceived importance of food-insecurity, not climate change. However, when controlling for these and other demographic factors, climate change proves effective in altering perceived importance.
