CAPABLE: Citizens' preference on climate policies: insights from a large-scale survey - Episode 3

This is the third episode of a series focused on the findings of the Horizon Europe project CAPABLE (ClimAte Policy AcceptaBiLity Economic framework). The aim of this podcast series is to provide an overview of the CAPABLE project and draw attention to some particularly relevant findings.
In this third episode, we dive into a fascinating survey carried out in the context of the CAPABLE project that explores how citizens across the European Union view the feasibility of climate change policies. We focus on social and contextual factors affecting behavioral change and support for specific climate policies.
The guest is Keith Smith. Keith is a senior researcher at ETH Zurich. His research analyses the incentives shaping why institutions, policymakers and citizens around the world will (or will not) work towards creating environmental public goods, such as mitigating climate change, or improving air quality. Along with colleagues at the University of Groningen, Keith is a co-lead WP2 in the HEU Capable project on social acceptability and feasibility.
CAPABLE is a research project funded by the Horizon Europe Programme under grant agreement No 101056891. It provides robust, resilient and actionable recommendations for the design of socially and economically acceptable climate policy measures for 2030 and beyond, examining experiences, policy design and implementation solutions to identify strategies that can enable a successful transition. Views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union.
