本論文は、炭素排出の不平等が気候政策への支持に与える影響を調査した米国でのサーベイ実験（N=1,110）である。結果、排出不平等の情報提供は、特に富裕層を対象とした厳格な気候政策への支持を高めることが示された。また、回答者は富裕層の責任を認識しつつも、自身の環境行動責任を低下させなかった。これらの知見は、個人の関与を損なわずに気候政策への支持を促進する方策を示唆する。
English
This study conducts a survey experiment (N=1,110) on a representative US sample to examine how information about carbon inequality affects support for climate policies. Results show that exposure to such information increases support for stringent policies, especially those targeting the wealthy. Respondents perceive the wealthy as more responsible without reducing their own sense of responsibility. This suggests that highlighting carbon inequality can build broad support for climate mitigation without undermining individual engagement.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Mitigating climate change requires individual behavioral changes and robust support for green policies. However, significant carbon inequality—where wealthier individuals have disproportionately larger carbon footprints—potentially poses a challenge to building broad-based demands for meaningful climate change mitigation. High emissions by the wealthiest in society may dampen the general public’s perception of responsibility and support for policies necessary for stringent climate change mitigation. For this reason, we investigate how information about unequal carbon emissions within countries affects public support for climate mitigation efforts through a survey experiment ( N = 1,110) on a representative sample of US respondents, providing information about the distribution of carbon emissions. Results show that exposure to this information increases support for stringent climate policies, particularly those targeting wealthy individuals. Notably, respondents perceive wealthier individuals as more responsible for climate change, without diminishing their own sense of responsibility for reducing pro-environmental behaviors. These findings suggest that making carbon inequality more salient can enhance broad-based support for climate policies without compromising individual engagement, offering insights into strategies for facilitating the green transition.
