The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to global CO₂. In a study published in Environmental Research Letters, Gracia Brückmann and Prof. Thomas Bernauer examined public support for, and the political feasibility of policy options for promoting EV adoption. Based on a choice experiment, they find that pull measures, such as subsidies for electric cars, attract more public support, and support levels do not decrease much when funding options are revealed.

We are looking for a Doctoral Student in Environmental Politics starting in autumn 2020. Depending on her/his particular skills and interests, the new doctoral student will be embedded in and contribute to one or more of the group’s research projects.
