The Politics of Climate Policy Insights from Political Science and Public Policy Jonas Meckling Energy and Environment Policy Lab University of California, Berkeley AHEAD workshop, October 2, 2017

Climate policy and distributive politics Climate policy in time Climate policy as a portfolio

1. Climate policy and distributive politics From “collective action” to “distributive conflict” frame. Creating benefits to mobilize supporters, reducing costs to soften opposition. “Who gets what, when, how” —Harold Lasswell 1936

1. Climate policy and distributive politics Costs Concentrated Diffuse Benefits Cap-and-trade w/revenue distribution Feed-in tariff, tax credits w/o revenue distribution H 1: The more concentrated benefits and the fewer concentrated costs a policy provides, the more political support it will mobilize.

2. Climate policy in time Achieving policy durability and policy expansion, as retrenchment and repeal are real risks. Policies that grow interest group coalitions through feedback and positive reinforcement are key. H 2: Policies that expand markets for low-carbon technologies and lead to “sticky” capital investments are most likely to be durable and to expand.

2. Climate policy in time Source: Meckling, Sterner, Wagner 2017.

3. Climate policy as a portfolio Targeted sectoral policies allow policymakers to better link emission reductions to other issues, thus creating near-term benefits. The more issue linkage occurs, the broader the support coalition. Climate policies are policy mixes that can be understood as a set of political bargains. Co-benefits Source: Watts et al. 2015. H 3: Several targeted climate policies are more likely to craft a stable and broad support coalition than one overarching climate policy.
