European survey projects have often employed different approaches to data collection, lacking specificity in addressing the impact of the green transition on the opinions, behaviours, socio-economic situations, and choices of Europeans. This gap has hindered a comprehensive understanding of how the green transition affects various European population groups and generations.
This session explores the latest advancements in survey projects, emphasizing innovative methods and technologies that enhance the collection of environmental data related to respondents' living environments. Recent developments have underscored the potential of understanding environmental aspects throughout the life course of the European population. These approaches can bridge studies of the interplay between the environment and individual choices, ultimately shaping future outcomes.
We invite papers that highlight new methodologies and tools to address research questions on the green transition. We are particularly interested in:
1. Survey Instruments: Batteries of questions designed to capture environmental aspects critical to addressing green transition research questions.
2. External Sources: Potential datasets that can enrich survey data, such as climate and air quality data, data on green spaces, public transportation, and accessibility of services supporting a socially green transition.
3. Methods: Approaches to linking external data to survey data using granular geographic information while addressing ethical and legal concerns.
4. Policy Involvement: Case studies and insights from the involvement of various stakeholders in social and environmental studies, and their interaction with policymakers.
This session aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current trends and future directions in survey data collection on the green transition, fostering a rich exchange of knowledge and experiences. We encourage presentations that not only showcase technical advancements but also discuss the political implications and lessons learned from current projects.
