Edition changes: Original narrative XML paragraphs, headings, references, funding, competing interests and data availability rendered as readable text with whitespace normalization. Figures, tables and display equations are not reconstructed; consult retained original XML and linked publisher version. Editorial quality cautions are separate and do not silently alter the source.
Evidence limits: Survey of 18,037 respondents across 31 European countries with hypothetical choice tasks, not family offices or completed project investments. Motivational associations are correlational despite randomized choice attributes; sampling, hypothetical bias, measurement error and endogeneity limit transfer. The study does not separately identify discounting of environmental benefits.
