Our research focuses on the institutional and individual factors that influence the acceptance of environmental and climate policies. The key questions are: when and among whom do such policies meet with approval or rejection? We are particularly interested in economic factors: we investigate how a person's economic situation influences their willingness to support stricter environmental measures. Furthermore, we examine the impact of crises on the acceptance of climate taxes.
