European Perceptions of Climate Change: Scepticism, Energy Preferences and Societal Transformation, 2016

Public engagement with climate change, and support for policies to tackle it, is critical in creating a climate-proof Europe. While attitudes to climate change have been well documented in individual European countries, their designs have never been coordinated. The core objective of the EPCC-project was to conduct directly comparable nationally representative surveys of public opinion regarding public perceptions of climate change and energy preferences. The project brings together a team of inter-disciplinary social science researchers from the UK, Germany, France and Norway, each representing four key energy systems. The study comprised four nationally representative surveys, each having a target sample of 1,000 interviews with individuals aged 15 and over. This data file includes survey data from Norway.
