THE TOPIC
In this webinar, we introduce the European Social Survey ERIC, an academically driven cross-national survey that has been conducted across Europe since its establishment in 2001. The survey measures the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of diverse populations in participating countries. In Round 8 (2018), the ESS measured the attitudes to Climate Change and Energy in 23 countries, in the webinar, we also provide a summary of the key findings in this dataset.
