摘要

社区对气候变化适应项目的支持明显有利于有效保护。社区支持的一个相关驱动因素是个人对责任的感知归属。如果个人将适应责任归咎于他人(如公共当局),就会减少个人的适应努力,可能会引起偏好不确定性,并可能导致适应不良。在个人几乎不承担正式责任的情况下,我们研究了个人对个人责任的认识和对海岸保护的偏好。为此,我们收集了马尔代夫的数据,马尔代夫是一个小岛屿发展中国家,海运灾害风险很大,海岸保护的责任正式由中央政府承担,当地社区没有大量参与。利用调查措施和离散选择实验(DCE),我们调查了受访者的个人责任感及其对适应气候变化的偏好,区分了对硬质人造结构和软质与自然共存的保护方法的偏好。结果表明,责任感对受访者表示支持保护措施的意愿起着重要作用。然而,这些结果进一步表明,正式分配的保护责任与感知到的保护责任之间存在不匹配,大多数受访者都有强烈的个人保护责任感。此外,DCE 的结果表明,人们的偏好与政府实施的措施不一致。后者属于硬性保护措施,而大多数受访者则明显倾向于软性保护措施。我们讨论了这些发现的影响,并强调了更好地理解责任认知驱动因素的重要性。

Responsibility attribution and community support of coastal adaptation to climate change: Evidence from a choice experiment in the Maldives

Community support for climate change adaptation projects markedly benefits effective protection. A relevant driver of community support is the perceived attribution of responsibility to individuals. If individuals attribute responsibility for adaptation to others, e.g. public authorities, this reduces the adaptation efforts of the individual, might induce preference uncertainty, and can lead to maladaptation. We study individuals' perceptions of personal responsibility and preferences for coastal protection in a setting in which individuals have little formal responsibility. To do so, we collect data from the Maldives, a small island development state with significant risks of seaborne hazards where responsibility for coastal protection formally rests with the central government without significant involvement of local communities. Using survey measures and a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE), we investigate respondents' sense of personal responsibility and their preferences for climate change adaptation distinguishing between preferences for hard, man-made structures and soft, working-with-nature protection approaches. The results show that responsibility perception plays an important role for stated willingness to support protective measures. However, they further show a mismatch between formally assigned and perceived responsibility for protection with a majority of respondents having a strong sense of personal responsibility for protection. In addition, the DCE results indicate a misalignment of people's preferences and the measures implemented by the government. While the latter belong to the group of hard protection measures, the majority of respondents show a clear preference for soft protection. We discuss the implications of these findings and highlight the importance of a better understanding of drivers of responsibility perceptions.
