摘要

各国在将温室气体排放与经济增长脱钩以实现减排目标方面取得的成功各不相同。本研究通过对脱钩率不同的英国（n = 1009）和澳大利亚（n = 1029）的公民进行网络调查，评估了公民对不同类型气候政策的支持程度、对减排与经济增长之间权衡的信念，以及这些排放-经济权衡信念与气候政策支持之间的关联。结果显示，包括碳税和禁令在内的强制性政策受到的反对最多。在所研究的国家中，气候政策支持率和排放-经济权衡信念之间的差异很小。结果还显示，对经济增长持不可知论的公民最支持政策。因此，决策者应注重向关注经济增长的公民宣传气候政策的经济和社会效益，以提高整体政策支持率。

Do economic trade-offs matter in climate policy support? Survey evidence from the United Kingdom and Australia

Countries vary in their success in decoupling greenhouse gas emissions from economic growth to meet emissions reduction targets. Using a web-based survey of citizens in the United Kingdom (n = 1009) and Australia (n = 1029), with different decoupling rates, this study assesses levels of citizen support for different types of climate policies, beliefs in trade-offs between emissions reduction and economic growth, and associations between these emissions-economy trade-off beliefs and support for climate policies. The results show compulsory policies, including carbon taxes and bans, receive the highest opposition. There is little variation between the studied countries for climate policy support and emissions-economy trade-off beliefs. The results also show that citizens who are agnostic about economic growth support policies the most. Therefore, decision-makers should focus on communicating climate policies’ economic and social benefits for the economic growth-concerned citizens to increase overall policy support.

期刊介绍： Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
