Citizens' attitudes towards climate mitigation policies: The role of occupational exposure in EU countries
研究欧盟国家公民对气候政策的支持度，发现从事高碳排放职业的人反对严格措施，而高绿色技能职业的人则支持，这对政策制定者理解不同群体的态度差异有参考价值。
Abstract Climate protection is a global public good. The related mitigation policies implemented by a single country could have little effect on climate change issue such that there could be no net gains for society. However, those measures might create winners and losers among individuals. We investigate the citizens' support for different pro‐climate policies in EU countries, by considering the degree of heterogeneity in their attitudes towards climate issues using a cluster analysis. We also exploit the extent to which carbon intensity and green skills requirement of jobs contribute to supporting climate policies. Our results suggest that individuals' occupational exposure does matter: people in emission‐intensive activities tend to be against stringent climate measures, whereas people in jobs that require high levels of green skills are in favour of them.
