Support Grows for Shouldering Cost of Climate Action
A story in E&E News details a new climate opinion survey by an international team of experts, which included Senior Fellow Alan Krupnick.
"...studies suggest that the U.S. reentry into global climate talks is coming at a time of growing international concern about rising CO2 emissions and signs of more public willingness to pay the costs of reducing them.
Earlier this week, Resources for the Future (RFF), a U.S. nonprofit environmental group, released two international polls conducted in 2009 and 2019.
They show considerable movement in people's willingness to pay more to curb climate-related emissions in China, the world's largest emitter; in the U.S., the world's largest per capita emitter; and in Sweden, where those polled showed a willingness to pay the highest price per ton of reduced emissions."
