Abstract

Germany has implemented a range of measures to mitigate climate change. The implementation of such measures results in the imposition of financial burdens and restrictions on residents. Consequently, individual attitudes toward the fairness and effectiveness of such measures are a critical factor in ensuring policy acceptance. In order to formulate effective and widely supported climate policy, continuous individual-level data is needed. Nevertheless, there is a shortage of high-quality data in this field in Germany. The Green SÖP represents a rare exception in this regard, providing individual data on climate policy measures since 2012. This data description outlines the recent extension of the Green SÖP, which received financial support from the E.ON Foundation. A newly recruited household panel was surveyed in 2021 on their attitudes toward climate change, energy costs and usage, energy and transport transition, and carbon pricing. In addition, experiments on sustainable shopping and emission allowances were included in the survey. This data description provides a comprehensive overview of the content and methodology of the first of four survey waves, conducted in 2021, along with empirical evidence regarding its representativeness for the German population.
