The aim of the study is to examine public perceptions and attitudes in Greece on some critical aspects of the Green Transition. In particular, the study examines public attitudes and perceptions towards the climate crisis and the deployment of renewable technologies, together with key socio-economic, political and demographic characteristics of the population, through a survey administered to a representative sample of the Greek population.
The study shows that people in Greece are very concerned about climate change and global warming. They rank the issue higher in terms of intense concern than economic problems, the possibility of a new pandemic, involvement in war or terrorist action, migration, political developments and technological progress. At the same time, the important role of RES in mitigating climate change is recognised by a large majority of the country’s population (85%). However, the degree of acceptance of RES differs between individual technologies, while a high share of respondents express concerns about the capacity of the Greek economy to meet the requirements of the Green Transition.
