Abstract
In response to the urgent need to tackle the current climate crisis, various energy scenarios have been developed with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability. In this study, the public acceptability and the perceived feasibility of two realistic future energy scenarios were investigated by means of a survey study. It was hypothesised that identification with all humanity is positively associated with the acceptability of the more ambitious scenario, TRANSFORM, and negatively with the acceptability of the less ambitious scenario, ADAPT. It was also hypothesised that collective efficacy is positively associated with the perceived feasibility of TRANSFORM. The results show a positive significant association of identification with all humanity with the acceptability of TRANSFORM and a negative significant effect on the acceptability of ADAPT. No significant effect was found between collective efficacy and the perceived feasibility of the ambitious scenario.
