New paper out in Energy Policy: Energy insecurity doesn't just affect energy policy preferences—it spills over into climate and social policy support too.

To better understand these results Fig. 3 displays how the association
between individuals’ energy insecurity and climate policy preferences
translates into overall support for each policy type. Similar to Fig. 2 we
see that those experiencing and expecting energy insecurity have almost
identical policy preferences. However, unlike the results for energy pol-
icy, we also see that achieving majority support for a policy type depends
upon energy insecurity. We see that there is only a significant major-
ity supporting investment-based climate policy amongst those who are
energy insecure. In contrast, for those who did not previously experi-
ence energy insecurity or do not expect to be energy insecure, support
is not significantly different from indifference for investment-based cli-
mate policy. Turning to compensation based policy, we see a different
picture where there is a significant majority not supporting compensa-
tion based climate policy amongst those who did not experience and are
not expecting energy insecurity. In contrast, for those who have experi-
enced or expect energy insecurity, support is not significantly different
from indifference. This suggests that the patterns exhibited in Fig. 1, with
majority support for investment and a lack of support for compensation,
are driven by whether individuals are energy insecure or not.

🚨Global public action (climate!) is most effective when countries do it together yet we're in a period of IO backlash rooted in left-behind places Does it mean all left-behind regions hate IOs the same? @patrickbayer.bsky.social & I have a paper accepted @bjpols.bsky.social abt this🧵 osf.io/rtymv

Climate Policy Costs, Regional Politics and Backlashagainst International Cooperation by Patrick Bayer and Federica Genovese.

This paper investigates the conditions under which subnational concerns shape public assessments of international climate governance. In line with existing literature, we maintain that costly policy adjustments fuel negative views of international cooperation in policy exposed regions. At the same time, we argue that the more resentful relations are with the national center of politics, the more sympathetic these regions areto international institutions and global governance. Based on geographically targeted survey data from theUnited Kingdom, we find that fossil fuel-intensive regions with strong, institutionalized regional politics have more positive assessments of international climate cooperation than structurally similar regions where regional political institutions are less pronounced. The findings show that regional politics characteristics are key for understanding climate policy beliefs among citizens that bear the brunt of adjustments to international climate agreements
