1) New preprint of my diss paper https://t.co/DflkFtgwy1 accepted for the
@PLOSClimate SI by @tobiasbrosch and Ulf Hahnel. Using a survey experiment, I study predictors for public support and mobilization. This has implications for the vote on the Climate and Innovation Act.

Thanks Verein @KlimaschutzCH for inviting me to provide an input about the scientific evidence of institutional change in the climate domain. This will be relevant for new and upcoming direct-democratic initiative currently beeing developed.

[Simon Montfort @Montfort1Simon]

interested people formulated two main ideas in 5 proposal: 1) a science-led advisory council tasked with giving advice to the federal council and parliament based on participatory processes involving citizens. 2) the creation of a new federal climate office

@EUI_ECO @michaelbarczay Really cool!! Congrats to the publication Micheal! I wonder what happens if you introduce more details around decision-making processes and allow households to be both investors or workers to a variable degree as incentives change.. :)

@scienceisstrat1 yes, agree. That’s good news. Though, not all of these prices are high enough for effective decarbonisation. Higher prices tend to be related to lower coverage

[Simon Montfort @Montfort1Simon]

@edenhofer_jacob that’s a nice collection of articles on the issue. See also this contributions which highlights low awareness about existing programs in Canada and Switzerland https://t.co/NLMzP0SkhQ

[Simon Montfort @Montfort1Simon]

@xruiztru but consider that population density in the middle of australia is extremely low.

[PLOS Climate @PLOSClimate]

New research by @Montfort1Simon of @CentreOeschger finds that beliefs and policy design preferences are the most important predictors of public support for climate policies

@DaveKeating well, either take a different route or accept that the journey takes 11-12h insteqd 😅

[Simon Montfort @Montfort1Simon]

@DaveKeating This is incredible; also applies to other connections through the rone valley to Barcelona. What‘s more, when travelling with Interrail, it may be that the 9h connection cannot be booked within two weeks. How can I NOT take the plane but yet we want to be co2 neutral by 2050?!
