| Abstract: | Assessing the Willingness to Pay (WTP) of the general public for climate change mitigation programmes enables governments
to understand how much taxpayers are willing to support the implementation of such programs. This paper contributes to the
literature on the WTP for climate change mitigation programmes by investigating, in addition to global benefits, the ancillary
benefits of climate change mitigation. It does so by considering local and personal benefits arising from climate change policies.
The Contingent Valuation Method is used to elicit the WTP for ancillary and global benefits of climate mitigation policies
in the Basque Country, Spain. Results show that WTP estimates are 53–73% higher when ancillary benefits are considered. |
