Abstract

We examine public support for four policy instruments to reduce aviation emissions in India and Norway, analysing the determinants of support and the effect of information provision. Support is significantly higher in India, with coercive policies being the least popular. Perceived policy effectiveness and belief in anthropogenic climate change are strong predictors of support, whereas socio-economic predictors are largely insignificant. Respondents overestimate aviation’s CO₂ emissions, with misperceptions affecting policy support. Providing factual information on aviation’s global emissions reduces support for jet fuel tax but not for other policies. Information about emissions from frequent flyers does not affect support levels. Findings highlight the influence of public perceptions and beliefs on policy support and suggest that while targeted information can modify attitudes, additional strategies are needed to boost support for aviation climate policies. Policymakers should note the public’s preference for proactive policies, indicating an opportunity to implement advanced, sustainable technologies.

印度和挪威公众对航空排放政策的支持：跨国比较

我们研究了印度和挪威公众对减少航空排放的四种政策工具的支持，分析了支持的决定因素和信息提供的影响。印度的支持率明显较高，而强制性政策最不受欢迎。对政策有效性的认知和对人为气候变化的信念是支持率的有力预测因素，而社会经济预测因素在很大程度上并不重要。受访者高估了航空业的二氧化碳排放量，这种误解影响了对政策的支持。提供有关航空业全球排放量的真实信息会减少对航空燃油税的支持，但不会减少对其他政策的支持。关于飞行常客排放量的信息不会影响支持率。研究结果突显了公众的看法和信念对政策支持的影响，并表明尽管有针对性的信息可以改变人们的态度，但还需要更多的策略来提高对航空气候政策的支持。政策制定者应该注意到公众对积极政策的偏好，这表明有机会实施先进的可持续技术。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
