Abstract

Vor dem Hintergrund des künftig häufigeren und intensiveren Auftretens sowie der längeren Dauer von Extremwetterereignissen, die dem Klimawandel zugeschrieben werden, steigt die Relevanz von Extremwetterereignissen auch für Industrienationen. Gleichzeitig gilt die allgemeine Bereitschaft für Klimaschutzmaßnahmen als eher gering. Insofern knüpft dieser Beitrag1 einerseits an die politische Frage nach einem effektiven globalen Klimaschutz und andererseits an das gesellschaftliche Problembewusstsein für den Klimawandel an. Konkret wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob die Einschätzung des Klimawandels als Gefährdung in Form von Extremwetterereignissen eine Rolle bei der Unterstützung politischer Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz wie einem Preis für Treibhausgasemissionen spielt. Die zur Beantwortung verwendeten Konzepte basieren auf denen der Risikowahrnehmung und der Betroffenheit im Rahmen der Vulnerabilitätsanalyse. Empirisch wurde eine Sekundäranalyse mit mehreren binären, logistischen Regressionsmodellen auf Basis der Mikrodaten aus der 2. Welle der Umweltbewusstseinsstudie 2016 durchgeführt. Diese zeigten, dass (1) die generelle Unterstützung politischer Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz in Deutschland ungewöhnlich hoch ist, und dass (2) eine stärkere wahrgenommene Gefährdung durch den Klimawandel eher zur Unterstützung politischer Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz führt.
