The impact of climate change on human survival and security, urban development is even more profound, ad receives more ad more attention. To explore the perceived status of urban residents for the risks of climate chage and put forward corresponning countermeasures and suggestions, taing Wuhan for example, from the microscopic point of urban residents, we use factor anaysis to classify the perceived risks and recognized risk reduction measures, use cluster aalysis to divide the urban residents intofive groups, ad use vaiance analysis to explore differences in the choice of measures between diferent cluster groups. We draw the following conclusions: the risk of deterioration of the ecological environment, the risk of economic damae, the risk of damage to the mental health, the risk of damage to the physical health and the risk of damae to the political harmony are the main risks of climate change for urban residents; individuals and families to develop good halts, businesses and governments to strengthen energy conservation, schools and other agencies to carry on the propaganda ad education, earry- ing out multi-agent environment improvement, learn from the West are their recognized risk reduction measures. Depending on the perceived risk, the urba residents are clustered intofive groups: those who are concerned about the body and polities, those who are concerned about the mental health, those who are concerned about the economic development, those who are concerned about the ecologica safety, and those who ignore the climatic change. For the roles of individua and the family, business and government in the environmental protection, diferent groups have unaimous views, while for other measures, different groups have different understanding. It is concluded that individuals and families to develop environmentally friennly habits, government to strengthen regulation, businesses to tee environmental responsibility, schools to strengthen publicity and education, and exploring the multi-agent participation, are the key to solving the problem.
