基于甘肃省会宁县黄河灌溉区、旱作农业区和山东省单县农业区的问卷调查,分析了案例区乡村居民对全球气候变化认知的一般特征、减缓全球气候变化的能力认知、义务认知和支付意愿及其区域和社会人口差异。研究发现:案例区乡村居民普遍关注全球气候变化,但对全球气候变化概念和发生原因的理解较肤浅。一定程度上,受访者通过当地气候变化及其影响来理解全球气候变化;受访者认为中央政府和国际组织应为减缓全球气候变化负主要责任,个人和家庭在减缓气候变化方面能力有限、支付意愿低,不同文化程度和职业受访者认知差异明显;存在原因认知决定责任者归属和能力认知、进而决定支付意愿的因果链,作者据此提出了政策建议。

Based on questionnaire survey conducted at irrigation and dry farming areas in Huining County of Gansu Province,and rural areas in Shanxian of southwestern Shandong Province,this paper dealt with understanding of global climate change of rural residents and their willingness to pay to mitigate climate change.It is found that although respondents showed great concern on global climate change,their understanding of what is global climate change and why it occurred was very limited.To some degree,the local residents considered global climate change as local climate change.The central government and international organizations were regarded to be responsible for global climate change,while perceived ability of individuals and families for mitigating climate change was low and the respondents showed low willingness to pay regardless of their self-claimed obligation to deal with climate change.Education and occupation differences in willingness to pay were significant.It is argued how the respondents understand occurrence of climate change affects their opinion on who are responsible for climate change,their perceived ability for mitigating climate change,and further willingness to pay.Finally,policy implications of this study were discussed.
