          Abstract

          O trabalho tem como objetivo identificar a percepção da opinião pública internacional diante das principais alternativas de resposta às mudanças climáticas: inovação tecnológica versus mudanças no estilo de vida individual; e os determinantes por trás dessa posição. A investigação utiliza dados em painel para quinze países, coletados em três unidades de tempo. Os resultados mostram um predomínio da escolha por soluções tecnológicas para resolver o problema, especialmente nos países emergentes, mas tal percepção vem enfrentando queda nos últimos anos, cedendo espaço para aceitação da opção por mudanças no comportamento individual. São as nações que possuem condições ambientais menos favoráveis, maior desenvolvimento humano e forte desenvolvimento institucional as que tendem a ver como menos efetivas as soluções tecnológicas para o problema das mudanças climáticas.

          This study aims to explore how international public opinion perceives the main options for solving the climate change issue, technological innovations or lifestyle changes, and in what way contextual forces help to understand the prevailing choice among the publics. Research is based on random-effects, pooled time series data panel for 15 countries across 3 times points between 2007 and 2011, compiling public opinion survey data and macro-level data. Results indicate favoritism for a technology fix, especially among developing societies. However, such option is gradually losing ground and the belief in individual behavior changes is increasing. Structural, institutional and environmental forces play a role in shaping perceptions in such a way that less favorable environmental conditions coupled with higher human and institutional development motivate lower reliance in technological solutions.
