Two new tools are now available to help researchers explore how social factors shape Europe’s move toward sustainability.
Tool 1: The Question Bank
A searchable collection of survey questions on environmental and sustainability topics drawn from leading European studies. It shows which questions have been asked, in what contexts, and by which datasets.
Tool 2: The Cross-Study Data Guide,
SoGreen’s Knowledge Mobilisation Lab has released a guide that helps researchers quickly locate and compare green-transition items across Europe’s major social survey infrastructures: ESS, GGP, SHARE, and 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.
The SoGreen consortium is built around four leading European social science research infrastructures — ESS ERIC, SHARE-ERIC, GGP, and GUIDE — and includes partners with expertise in data infrastructure, environmental research, digital innovation, and stakeholder engagement.
