| Content | We learn about on-going policy debates and academic research regarding (a) how people perceive these risks, benefits and costs associated with climate and energy policy, (b) what might be reasons for different perceptions across individuals, and (c) how these perceptions might influence their support and acceptance of new policies. We adopt theoretical frameworks from broader disciplines including economics, political science and psychology. Along the course, we also pay close attention to measuring techniques to analyze public opinion in- and outside these issue domains. |
| Learning objectives | The goal of this course is to understand relevant energy- and climate-policy issues based on current policy debates, and aims to understand the formation of policy preferences in citizens’ minds. |
