To attempt to understand European views on global climate change, the authors interviewed 24 policymakers in a sample of European countries: Austria, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The interviews focused on the views, motivations, values, and logic of each government`s environmental policy community. The interview questions covered perceptions of global warming as a problem, potential policies, country-specific motivations, and politics affecting policy formation. Interviews also covered deeper issues, such as whether the informants felt they had environmental values and what they were. This paper discusses the results and compares European views with those in the US.
