Eine aktuelle #UniKonstanz Studie zeigt: Die sogenannte Carbon Inequality ist der Bevölkerung durchaus bewusst und viele wünschen sich eine gerechtere Verteilung: https://t1p.de/4ak6c

Today is #EarthOvershootDay, and in Germany, #CarbonInequality is getting attention. Our recently published article shows support for societal change - the rich should lead by example and have the best, not worst, carbon footprints! www.deutschlandfunk.de/umweltminist...

Collectively, people acknowledge carbon inequality (= the rich emit more) and favor fairer emission distributions. However, individually they perceive themselves to be better than others. We are excited that our findings have been published in @natcomms.nature.com! 🤩 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New #paper from our research group led by #JohannaKoechling and @jekoller.bsky.social#paper#johannakoechlingn the #carbon #perception gap in actual and ideal #carbonfootprints across #wealth groups 🎉 #NatureCommunications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-61505-7

Most drivers think they are better-than-average drivers. But what about carbon footprint? Is yours better than others within the same wealth group? New research in Germany out at Nature Communications @natcomms.nature.com shows important perception gaps. Read more about it here rdcu.be/evb3V
