National survey-based investigation of climate risk perceptions and adaptation readiness in Greece

This dataset contains responses from a national survey of 1,123
participants conducted recently in Greece during a 12-month period. This
extended dataset enables a more robust assessment of the adaptive capacity
based on four key dimensions: (a) awareness of climate-related risks, (b)
real-life experiences of extreme climatic events (i.e., wildfires, floods,
droughts), (c) readiness to adopt more sustainable practices, and (d)
evaluative perspectives on grassroots-level interventions. The data
provide a representative overview of how Greek communities perceive and
respond to climate change challenges and can be used for research on
climate adaptation, policy planning, and sustainability studies. The
questionnaire was originally administered in Greek. The present version is
an English translation for the purpose of data sharing. It was designed to
assess the adaptability of Greek communities to the climate crisis,
examining demographics, perceptions of climate risks, direct experiences,
preparedness, sustainable practices, and community resilience.
