Resumo(s)
Surveys show that among European countries there is high citizens’ awareness and large support for green policies. But these policies have a cost that needs to be borne by taxpayers. This link is not captured in most surveys. By conducting a RCT on two countries highly vulnerable to climate change – Italy and Portugal – we show that providing information on climate is an effective way of increasing support, even if the policies come at a cost. This exercise is particularly timely, given that the recent increases in energy prices, weighing on the cost of living, have prompted a backlash against costly green policies.
