Exploring how climate change subjective attribution, personal experience with extremes, concern, and subjective knowledge relate to pro-environmental attitudes and behavioral intentions in the United States

Gabrielle Wong-Parodi et al.

Summary: The study shows personal experience, concern, and subjective knowledge are related to the belief that extreme events are attributable to climate change. These factors are associated with pro-environmental attitudes and behavioral intentions, with subjective attribution amplifying or attenuating these relationships.

Effect of finite pool of worry and COVID-19 on UK climate change perceptions

Darrick Evensen et al.

Summary: Research shows that concern and action on climate change is limited by a finite pool of worry, but a longitudinal survey of 1,858 UK residents conducted in April 2019 and June 2020 found little evidence of diminishing climate change concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample identified climate change as a bigger threat than COVID-19, suggesting it has become an intransigent concern in the UK public consciousness.

Carbon tax acceptability with information provision and mixed revenue uses

Sara Maestre-Andres et al.

Summary: This study shows that spending all carbon tax revenues on climate projects, instead of mixing them, is the most acceptable policy. Providing information about the functioning of carbon taxation can increase acceptability for a carbon tax with unspecified revenues. Policy acceptability is more strongly related to perceived fairness than to perceived effectiveness.

The role of trust in citizen acceptance of climate policy: Comparing perceptions of government competence, integrity and value similarity

Shelby Kitt et al.

Summary: The study found that the majority of Canadian citizens support purchase incentives and most regulations, but have lower support for a carbon tax. The survey indicated that fewer than 50% of respondents trust their national or provincial government regarding climate change issues in terms of competence, integrity, or value similarity. The only trust variable consistently positively associated with support for all five policies tested is the perception of national government competence.

Experience or attribution? Exploring the relationship between personal experience, political affiliation, and subjective attributions with mitigation behavioural intentions and COVID-19 recovery policy support

Jagadish Thaker et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals' subjective attribution of infectious disease outbreaks to climate change and human impact on the environment is positively associated with mitigation behavioral intentions and climate-focused COVID-19 economic recovery policies. However, knowledge about COVID-19 and self-reported economic impact due to COVID-19 are not associated with policy support, and there is a significant interaction between political affiliation and subjective attribution to climate change on policy support.
