Finally, please give us your opinion on short-term (goals for less than 10 years in the future) versus long-term
(goals for more than 10 years in the future) pledges at the UN Climate Change Conferences.
Statement A: Long-term pledges are probably easier to agree upon at the UN Climate Change Conference
compared to short-term pledges.
Statement B: Short-term pledges are probably easier to agree upon at the UN Climate Change Conference
compared to long-term pledges.
| {{ choice }} | {{ endfor }}||||
| I agree a lot more with statement A | I agree a little bit more with statement A | I agree/disagree with both statements to the same extent | I agree a little bit more with statement B | I agree a lot more with statement B |
Statement C: If made, long-term pledges are more likely to be actually fulfilled by the countries who
make the pledge, because the longer time frame makes them easier to fulfill.
Statement D: If made, short-term pledges are more likely to be actually fulfilled by countries who
make the pledge, because they are more realistic than long-term pledges.
| {{ choice }} | {{ endfor }}||||
| I agree a lot more with statement C | I agree a little bit more with statement C | I agree/disagree with both statements to the same extent | I agree a little bit more with statement D | I agree a lot more with statement D |
Statement E: If fulfilled, long-term pledges are more effective in the fight against climate change,
because they have more ambitious goals regarding carbon dioxide emission reductions.
Statement F: If fulfilled, short-term pledges are more effective in the fight against climate change,
because they have a more immediate impact on carbon dioxide emission reductions.

| I agree a lot more with statement E | I agree a little bit more with statement E | I agree/disagree with both statements to the same extent | I agree a little bit more with statement F | I agree a lot more with statement F |
Statement G: It would be a good idea to eliminate the possibility of short-term pledges at the next UN
Climate Change Conference in order to make countries focus more on the important long-term pledges.
Statement H: It would be a good idea to eliminate the possibility of long-term pledges at the next UN
Climate Change Conference in order to make countries focus more on the important short-term pledges.
Statement I: Countries should be allowed to make both short-term and long-term pledges at the next UN
Climate Change Conference.
