In the following, respondents answer questions about attitudes to environmental protection and assess their own knowledge of the causes and possible solutions to environmental problems. Respondents assess the risks of various sources of pollution, their country’s efforts to protect the environment, give their views on international agreements for the protection of the environment, desired energy sources in the future, the impact of environmental protection measures on the economy, and define their own efforts to protect the environment. The demographic strand includes questions about the respondent’s age, gender, education, employment, marital status, trade union membership, religious beliefs, political self-determination of the left-right, participation in the last elections, household size and region of residence.
