New Tools for Research on Europe’s Green Transition
Two resources are now available from the SoGreen project
The SoGreen (Social Aspects of the Green Transition) project has published two new tools to support research on how Europeans experience and respond to the green transition. SoGreen brings together Europe’s leading social science infrastructures (ESS, SHARE, GGP and GUIDE) to explore differences across generations and social groups.
- Cross-infrastructure Item Inventory: It compiles existing environmental questions from these infrastructures and maps variables by domain and coverage. This enables feasibility checks across age groups and survey modes, supporting the development of the Green Module.
- Cross-Study Data Guide: The guide summarises what each study already asks about climate and environment (e.g., attitudes, policy support, behaviours, local conditions), notes the number of items per study, highlights cross-wave coverage, and points to the official data portals and bibliographies for deeper exploration. It’s designed as a practical starting point for comparative work and policy-relevant analysis, and will be updated as SoGreen data become available.
Anyone interested in understanding public attitudes toward climate action and environmental policy can use these resources. They're designed to make research more consistent and accessible, and are key building blocks for developing SoGreen's Green Module.
