SoGreen. Social Aspects of the Green Transition

SoGreen project captures public attitudes, experiences, and behavioural responses to environmental policies and conditions. Key themes include energy and transport poverty, job security, access to infrastructure, and public engagement with climate initiatives. Special attention is given to how different populations experience the challenges and benefits of green policies, including those related to health, housing, and mobility. The development of the SoGreen module followed a rigorous and collaborative design process involving four European research infrastructures (ESS, SHARE, GGP, and GUIDE). The module draws on items from existing surveys, supplemented by new questions developed through feedback, and will be tested in a pilot study. The final questionnaire consists of thirty items grouped around conceptual themes such as climate beliefs, behavioural intentions, perceived risks, trust in institutions, and environmental risks. The full module will be implemented as part of the ESS-CRONOS-3 web-first panel in 11 countries (Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Finland, France, Hungary, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, the UK).
