The relationship of attitudes toward climate change and attitudes toward climate policies
Kamenický, Jakub ; Richter, Eva (advisor) ; Sládek, Jan (referee)
This work aims to examine the relationship between attitude towards climate change and attitude towards measures addressing climate change. I do this by synthesizing academic work examining the relationship in various contexts. The relationship between attitude towards climate change and attitude towards measures addressing climate change is positive in a diverse set of contexts. On the other hand, the relationship is also influenced by variables such as experience with impacts of climate change, access to information, age, education, political beliefs or the degree of contentiousness of the particular measure addressing climate change. Furthemore, results indicate that relatively high awareness of climate change is associated with greater support for even unpopular climate measures, as well as with greater support for environmentally non- invasive measures. Key words: Attitude towards climate change, measures addressing climate change, climate policies, mitigation of climate change, adaptation to climate change
