Social Aspects of the Green Transition (SoGreen)

Project description

Understanding the social impact of the green transition

The green transition is essential for tackling climate change, but it also brings social challenges. Different generations and socio-economic groups will experience its impacts in unique ways. These differences can make it harder to create fair policies and solutions. Understanding these social aspects is crucial for a successful and inclusive transition. With this in mind, the EU-funded SoGreen project will develop new tools and data to study the social impacts of the green transition from a life course perspective. It will create a Green Transition Questionnaire and geospatial data to support better analysis. SoGreen will help ensure that policies are inclusive and informed by a deep understanding of social challenges.

Objective

The goal of the SoGreen project is to enhance the capacities of the four leading social science infrastructures in Europe ESS ERIC, SHARE ERIC, GGP and GUIDE, and generate valuable insights aimed at facilitating the study and evaluation of the social aspects of the green transition for different generations and socioeconomic groups across Europe, using a life-course perspective. SoGreen will contribute to the work programme topic “Next generation of scientific instrumentation, tools and methods and advanced digital solutions” by developing new services, comprising innovative tools, solutions, and questionnaire modules related to the social aspects of the green transition.
The unique longitudinal and multi-generational perspective of the infrastructures involved goes beyond the state of the art by integrating new data and novel analytical frameworks to foster interdisciplinary insights on the green transition at national and regional levels, including new services, including geospatial data linkable with survey datasets and new visualisation tools. Central to our approach is the collaborative development of a new tool, the Green Transition Questionnaire Module, to ensure coherence in addressing environmental themes which will then be fielded within the different surveys. Moreover, we will also prepare harmonised aggregates of collected data and their visualization through a joint dissemination platform, enhancing accessibility and promoting consistency in data interpretation across various studies. The Knowledge Mobilisation Lab will be another new and innovative tool to identify, build, and engage a multifaceted network of different audiences and stakeholders. This includes professionals from policy, research, non-profit, and private sectors, thus actively shaping the discourse and informing developments related to the green transition.
