Regional inequalities within countries have become increasingly relevant for understanding contemporary economic conditions and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. In response, place-based policies are increasingly seen as a potential solution to address both economic and environmental challenges simultaneously, but potentially risk backlash due to the distributional consequences they entail. This study examines how individuals' preferences for place-based climate and social policies are influenced by awareness of these inequalities and policy design features. Our research design allows us to isolate the effects of information about regional disparities on policy preferences, while also identifying the relative importance of various policy attributes. To do so, we use a combination of an information provision and conjoint experiment in a representative survey of UK residents (N = 1,999, fielded in May 2024) to examine how individuals' preferences for place-based climate and social policies are shaped by regional climate and economic inequalities and their design. The results find that while individuals' have distinct preferences, cost and funding considerations play a predominant role. We also find that economic concerns broadly outweigh concerns about climate change, both in the targeting of policy and regional variation in demands for intervention. Our results have implications for understanding the development of regional policies to facilitate the green transition and its economic consequences. First, the results emphasise the importance of policy design over communication-based strategies to boost policy engagement, such as framing. Finally, our results provide necessary detail to debates surrounding the combination of climate and social policy goals.
