Animal welfare is a stronger determinant of public support for meat taxation than climate change mitigation in Germany
G. Perino and H. Schwickert
Research conducted by Grischa Perino and Henrike Schwickert reveals that a meat tax could significantly aid in combating climate issues and improving animal welfare. Their study highlights that support for such a tax is notably stronger at lower tax levels and that justification based on animal welfare yields higher backing than climate concerns. Effective communication of the tax's purpose is essential for successful implementation.
