Abstract

Die jüngste Verschärfung der nationalen Klimaschutzziele erfordert die Ergreifung zusätzlicher umweltund klimapolitischer Maßnahmen sowie eventuelle Nachbesserungen bei den bereits bestehenden Maßnahmen. Beides führt unweigerlich zu höheren Kosten für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Damit einher gehen Fragen zu den Präferenzen und Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen bezüglich dieser Maßnahmen, zu deren Beantwortung im Juni 2021 eine Erhebung unter rund 8.000 Mitgliedern des forsa-Haushaltspanels durchgeführt wurde. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass mit einem Anteil von rund 45% fast die Hälfte der Befragten Verbote generell als gerecht wahrnehmen und die absolute Mehrheit von rund 55% der Befragten diese für effektiver hält als finanzielle Anreize. So sprechen sich zwei Drittel der Befragten für ein Fahrverbot für Autos mit besonders hohem Schadstoffausstoß aus, um die Schadstoffbelastung in Innenstädten zu verringern, nur ein Drittel würde sich für die Alternative in Form einer City-Maut entscheiden. Dennoch werden Verbote nicht immer gegenüber alternativen Maßnahmen zur Reduktion klimaschädlichen Verhaltens präferiert. So bevorzugen die Befragten bei der Verkehrswende sowie der Wärmewende finanzielle Anreize gegenüber Verboten. In Bezug auf die Finanzierung der Kosten des Klimaschutzes ist die relative Mehrheit der Befragten der Meinung, dass zukünftige Generationen nicht daran beteiligt werden sollten. Dieses Votum ist von höchster Relevanz angesichts der Frage, wie die enormen Lasten zu finanzieren sind, die aus der massiven Transformation unserer Volkswirtschaft auf dem Weg zur Treibhausgasneutralität erwachsen werden.
