中文摘要
How to respond to climate change and its adverse effects has
become one of the most important international environmental issues
since the 1980s. Anthony Giddens argues that most democratic coun-
tries face the challenges of the so-called Giddens’s Paradox when it
comes to climate policy decision-making. In other words, the public
awareness of climate change does not reflect their behaviors, there-
fore it is not ideal to be used as a reference for making policies
related to climate change. This study aims to explore the relationship
between the elements of Giddens’s Paradox, particularly climate
risks, environmental public goods and temporal discounts, and Tai-
wanese respondents’ environmental behaviors. The data from the
Taiwan Social Change Survey 2010 round 6 Environment Module’s
dataset is used in this analysis. Findings show that these three ele-
ments of Gidden’s Paradox have different influence on pro-environ-
mental behaviors. The element of climate risks tend to only affect
respondents in terms of their willingness to pay higher prices for
commodities, while public goods and temporal discounts increase
people’s willingness to pay higher commodity prices and higher
taxes and accept cuts in the standard of living to avoid environmental
degradation.
