Abstract

We examine how exposure to energy transition and climate policy vulnerability influence popular support for more ambitious climate policy. Moreover, we explore whether this relationship depends on a person's generalized and political trust. Comparing data from surveys in Germany and Switzerland, our findings reveal that perceived exposure to energy transition positively influences climate policy support, while individual climate policy vulnerability decreases it. For individuals with higher levels of trust, exposure helps enhance the positive effect (subjective exposure) or dampen the negative effect (policy vulnerability). These results underscore the importance of incorporating trust and subjective perceptions into climate policy frameworks.
