Abstract: Farmers’ support for climate change mitigation policies is crucial for their implementation and effective reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, farmers’ support for these policies remains a challenge. This study investigates whether different information framing can enhance farmers’ support across European countries. Using a pre-registered online survey experiment across eight European countries, we test the effects of video-based interventions with distinct framings. We assess the impact of these interventions on farmers’ support for climate change mitigation policies and their climate change beliefs. By using the ManyLabs approach, we examine regional variability in farmers’ responses across countries, providing insights into the factors that drive policy support. Our findings will provide evidence-based recommendations for policy design, helping bridge the gap between environmental objectives and agricultural realities.
