Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved public acceptability of carbon pricing in Belgium, suggesting policy framing matters.

Key Points

  • This research investigates ways to improve public acceptance of carbon pricing policies, focusing on the role of policy packaging.
  • Conducted a large-scale survey experiment in Belgium
  • Analyzed the impact of framing carbon pricing within various policy packages
  • Compared drivers for pure carbon pricing versus carbon pricing packages
  • Framing carbon pricing within a broader policy package significantly improves acceptability
  • Climate concern and perceived fairness are major factors influencing acceptance
  • For standalone carbon pricing, the financial impact on households is a critical concern, while revenue use can alleviate such fears.
