Which policies prevent a widening gap between higher and lower educated people? Which policy instruments are there, and how could they be used? What is the role of free entrepreneurship? In this book, academics from different fields have brought together their knowledge and expertise to reflect on the following three questions: How are the polarised positions on climate change of different groups related to their moral outlook, world view, tradition, cultural norms and values? What is a good distribution of responsibilities between firms, households and the government relating to climate change? What are possible avenues where the climate policies are a natural extension of moral inclinations of families and firms, such as the stewardship for the natural environment and the climate? This book will be of interest to policy and decision-makers, students of social and behavioural sciences, and those interested climate change policies and how this effects our lives. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Climate Studies,$x2213-7858 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aSocial perception 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aMoral development 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aSocial Perception 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aMoral Development 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aSocial perception. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aMoral development. 615 14$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aSocial Perception. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aMoral Development. 676 $a363.70561 686 $aPOL029000$aPOL044000$aPSY031000$aSOC025000$2bisacsh 700 $aSiegmann$b Arjen$01076273 702 $aSiegmann$b Arjen$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520099303321 996 $aClimate of the Middle$92586665 997 $aUNINA
