Short description

Swedish opinion on Environment, Energy and Climate Change is a continuation of the research project Energy Opinion in Sweden which has studied attitudes and opinions on Swedish energy policies since 1985. The project aims to measure public opinion on environment, energy and climate change. Swedish opinion on environmental issues is examined in a broad perspective and includes examination of perceptions of climate change and their causes, and attitudes towards political proposals and control measures. The project is conducted in collaboration between several research programs with relevant associations to studies of energy and environmental issues as well as political opinion.
