尽管气候威胁很严重，世界各国政府仍在努力通过和实施气候政策。如今，政治家和倡导者正在倡导一个新想法：将气候政策与其他经济和社会改革联系起来。这种方法能否为气候行动带来更大的公众支持？在这里，我们测试这个联盟建设策略。我们对 2,476 名美国人的代表性样本进行了两项联合实验，评估了 40 种不同的气候、社会和经济政策对支持气候改革的边际影响。总体而言，我们发现包括经济适用房、15 美元最低工资或就业保障等社会和经济改革在内的气候政策组合增加了美国公众对缓解气候变化的支持。清洁能源标准，无论包含哪些技术，也使气候政策更受欢迎。将气候政策与经济和社会问题联系起来对于扩大有色人种的气候政策支持特别有效。
Despite the gravity of the climate threat, governments around the world have struggled to pass and implement climate policies. Today, politicians and advocates are championing a new idea: linking climate policy to other economic and social reforms. Will this approach generate greater public support for climate action? Here, we test this coalition-building strategy. Using two conjoint experiments on a representative sample of 2,476 Americans, we evaluate the marginal impact of 40 different climate, social, and economic policies on support for climate reforms. Overall, we find climate policy bundles that include social and economic reforms such as affordable housing, a $15 minimum wage, or a job guarantee increase US public support for climate mitigation. Clean energy standards, regardless of which technologies are included, also make climate policy more popular. Linking climate policy to economic and social issues is particularly effective at expanding climate policy support among people of color.
