This article entitled “The Studies of Social Perception” as a tool to contribute to the study of climate change in coastal communities has as its antecedent the various studies that have been carried out in Cuba and in particular the province of Cienfuegos on the phenomenon of climate change and the level of affectation it brings. Throughout history, environmental problems have made life and development difficult. Several years ago, the problem of climate change has been a worrying issue for scientists and scholars of the ecological theme. Cuba and the island states are the spaces mostly affected by the onslaught of this phenomenon; within this territory the coastal communities have suffered the dire consequences of environmental problems. Sociologists, psychologists and other scientists dedicated to this research have proposed the use of social and socio-environmental persecution studies as a tool to contribute to the mitigation of these problems and find possible solutions. Particularly in Cuba, social perception studies include working with different social actors, from the government to various institutions and ending in community leaders and the inhabitants themselves.
