Unraveling the conditions for post-adoption contestation over hard climate policy in OECD countries.
Article in npj climate action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Understanding drivers of public contestation over hard climate policies is crucial for advancing climate action. While existing literature provides insights into conditions for policy support and adoption, conditions for policy contestation at the post-adoption stage remain opaque. We investigate conditions for policy contestation at the post-adoption stage in a sample of 27 national climate policies in OECD countries (2009-2022). We employ fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis drawing on primary (62 structured expert interviews) and secondary (media, datasets, academic and grey literature, policy documents) data. Findings reveal that policy contestation arises from a combination of conditions, especially when policy is perceived as demanding and unfair, sometimes also combined with socio-political polarization, lack of climate change concern, and lack of information provision. This supports ex-ante work on expected conditions of contestation but also suggests a need for attention to conjunctural causation, complex socio-political constructs, and analyzing policy content and policy context jointly.
