However, little is known about how responsibility is perceived across low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa. Without clear attribution of responsibility, growing climate vulnerability and risk cannot be effectively or equitably addressed.Nicholas Simpson from the University of Cape Town and colleagues from South Africa, the USA and the UK analysed public opinion data from 39 African countries. They find that citizens who are aware of climate change primarily assign responsibility for addressing climate change to their own governments, followed by ordinary African citizens, and then to a mix of industry and historic emitters. But these notions of responsibility are not uniform, and variation is associated with sociodemographic factors and state capacity. Higher education levels, reduced poverty and access to new media sources are associated with increased attribution of responsibility to historical emitters. This study highlights that many Africans are willing to act on the climate crisis and expect their governments to do the same.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Work from the IPCC suggests that demand-side mitigation is estimated to reduce emissions by 40–70% in end-use sectors while being consistent with similar or increased levels of human well-being1. Based on a cost–benefit case study from Beijing, China, Tan-Soo et al.2 show that eight out of 12 policies allegedly incur individual welfare losses and seven result in social welfare loss. Using the approach of Tan-Soo et al., we show that the results hinge on assumptions worthy of debate. We show that an approach that is more sophisticated psychologically—accounting for endogenous preferences, for example—flips the central findings, leading to overall positive effects of demand-side mitigation on welfare.Tan-Soo et al.’s finding that two-thirds of all demand-side climate mitigation options result in social welfare loss contrasts with previous findings that more than two-thirds of demand-side mitigation options improve eudaimonic well-being1. This difference raises critical questions on the methodology and conceptual understanding of costs, preferences and well-being. Here we open the discussion on the appropriate methodology. We applaud Tan-Soo et al.’s attempt to quantify the (social) welfare of demand-side options, but find their assumptions in contrast with our own understanding of how demand-side options need to be evaluated1,3,4,5.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
