We assess evidence from theoretical-modelling, empirical and experimental studies on how interactions between instruments of climate policy affect overall emissions reduction. Such take the form negative, zero or positive synergistic effects. The considered comprise performance technical standards, carbon pricing, adoption subsidies, innovation support, information provision. Based findings, we formulate climate-policy packages that avoid negative employ synergies, compare their strengths...
Abstract Researchers from different disciplines have opinions about carbon pricing. To better understand the reasoning behind these perspectives, we utilize responses to three open-ended questions a global survey among almost 800 researchers wide variety of fields who published on climate policy. Using methods computational linguistics, classify reflections main strengths and weaknesses pricing compared with other policy instruments in seven six topics, respectively. The results indicate...
There is continuing debate about which climate-policy instruments are most appropriate to reduce emissions. Undertaking a global survey among scientists who published on climate policy, we provide systematic overview of (dis)agreements six main types policy instruments. The includes various fields across the social and natural sciences. results show that, average, all considered important, with direct regulation receiving highest rating adoption subsidies cap-and-trade lowest. latter...
Abstract Public acceptability of carbon taxation depends on its revenue use. Which single or mixed use is most appropriate, and which perceptions policy effectiveness fairness explain this, remains unclear. It is, moreover, uncertain how people’s prior knowledge about affects acceptability. Here we conduct a survey experiment to test distinct uses, knowledge, information provision the functioning affect We show that spending revenues climate projects maximises as well perceived...
It remains unclear how COVID-19 has affected public engagement with the climate crisis. According to finite-pool-of-worry hypothesis, concern about change should have decreased after pandemic, in turn reducing climate-policy acceptance. Here we test these and several other conjectures by using survey data from 1172 Spanish participants who responded before first wave of COVID-19, allowing for both aggregate within-person analyses. We find that on average decreased, while acceptance most...
Public support for stringent climate policies is currently weak. We develop a model to study the dynamics of public policies. It comprises three interconnected modules: one calculates policy impacts; second translates these into mediated by social influence; and third represents regulator adapting stringency depending on support. The combines general-equilibrium agent-based elements empirically grounded in household survey, which allows quantifying as function effectiveness, personal...
Green advertising aims to communicate pro-environmental dimensions of products achieve an increase in sales. Within a general framework, we organize studies green examine the psychological processes it triggers and how influences consumers. We analyze (1) information typically conveyed through verbal non-verbal cues, (2) moderating variables consumers' attention, (3) cognitive emotional responses advertising. describe latter prism heuristics, i.e. simple rules thumb that consumers use cues....
In this comment, we share our experiences from organizing the ICTA2020 Virtual Conference on Low-Carbon Lifestyles and argue that virtual events have potential to become new norm among academics. We present an overview of tools can be used support arguments with results a feedback survey was filled out by participants conference. Main challenges for conferences are facilitation informal spaces social interaction prevention 'screen fatigue'. Advantages they increase societal outreach, improve...
Unilateral climate policies have been unable to achieve intended emissions reductions. We argue that international harmonization of policy beyond the Paris Agreement is only way forward and global carbon pricing, either through a tax or market, best available instrument manage this. A foundation has already laid, as current pricing initiatives cover about 20% CO2 emissions. Since it limits free-riding by countries/jurisdictions, is, in principle, behaviourally easier negotiate than other...
Beliefs about other people's opinions on climate change influence one's own opinion. Such beliefs can, however, suffer from biases in perception. Using two nationally representative surveys, we examine this issue a new context, namely of carbon-tax acceptance Spain. We find that the more one expects tax to be accepted by others, accepts it personally. But opponents carbon tend strongly overestimate prevalence their opinion, i.e. they exhibit so-called false consensus effect. In contrast,...
