Abstract
Public resistance and related reluctance among politicians to pursue unpopular policies are factors that can inhibit the successful implementation of climate policies. To be able to identify potential for improvements of climate change policy design in respect to social acceptance the analysis of factors that affect public acceptability or public support is needed.
The systematic literature review and secondary data analysis that we carried out in this task provides a very good overview of possible explanatory factors, yet considering the complexity of the problem, we need to examine the determinants systematically by use of theories, ideally combing several theoretical and methodological approaches. Those are, in our stated preference survey, economic and social-psychological frameworks and mixed-method research design.
