Workshop | Climate change beliefs and climate policy preferences
How do climate change beliefs shape support for climate policies? Join the Forum for Research on Eastern Europe: Climate and Environment (FREECE) and the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) for a one-day research workshop exploring public attitudes, policy preferences, and climate action.
About the workshop
Climate change beliefs and policy preferences are closely connected, but concern about climate change does not necessarily translate into support for measures to address it.
Public support also depends on how people perceive policy costs, effectiveness, and fairness, as well as their trust in the institutions responsible for implementing climate policies. At the same time, policies and their consequences can reshape these beliefs and preferences.
Understanding these relationships is essential for designing effective climate policies that can gain and sustain public support.
Themes & topics
The workshop will bring together researchers to discuss how climate change beliefs, information, and individual experiences influence public attitudes and support for climate policies.
Key topics include:
- Climate change beliefs, awareness, and policy preferences
- Public perceptions of climate policy costs, effectiveness, and fairness
- Extreme weather events, media narratives, and climate attitudes
- Climate change information, emotions, and public opinion
- Individual and collective climate action
- Climate policy resistance and the role of economic burdens
- Climate change narratives and public attitudes across countries.
Program
The full program will be announced closer to the event date.
