An investigation of public support for coastal adaptation options and public finance options in Florida evaluated stakeholder judgments and how they changed through a participatory engagement process. The study found that public finance mechanisms that imposed fiscal burdens on those who directly benefit from hazard reduction were rated as more acceptable than others. Significantly, visualisations and data on local economic damage and return on investment of potential adaptation options further increased acceptability ratings. The question of whether a development fee for adaptation or any other public purpose supported by private funds is a legal issue that depends on a test called the rational nexus. One concern of this article is to explore options for such fees to cover adaptation to climate change. This raises issues about the potential conflict with the community-wide and intergenerational nature of long-term adaptation. We also explore the relevance of environmental attitudes using the 'new environmental paradigm' (NEP) scale and political party affiliation. Results have implications for infrastructure improvements that require public approval for financing.

谁应该为气候适应买单?佛罗里达州的公众态度和防洪融资

一项关于佛罗里达州沿海适应方案和公共财政方案的公众支持调查评估了利益相关者的判断以及他们如何通过参与式参与过程发生变化。研究发现,对那些直接从减灾中受益的人施加财政负担的公共财政机制被认为比其他机制更容易被接受。重要的是,关于当地经济损失和潜在适应方案投资回报的可视化和数据进一步提高了可接受性评级。由私人资金支持的适应开发费或任何其他公共目的是否属于法律问题,取决于称为理性联系的测试。本文关注的一个问题是探索此类费用的选项,以涵盖适应气候变化。这提出了与长期适应的社区范围和代际性质的潜在冲突的问题。我们还使用“新环境范式”(NEP)量表和政党隶属关系探索环境态度的相关性。结果对需要公众批准融资的基础设施改善有影响。
