Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Ukraine war on pro-environmental attitudes. Using the 2021–2022 wave of the European Social Survey, we leverage the timing of the war’s outbreak in February 2022 as a natural experiment. By comparing the pro-environmental preferences of individuals interviewed just before and after the war’s onset across nine European countries, we find a significant decline on political preferences for pro-environmental political parties and concerns for climate change. Further investigation reveals that rising energy prices and the salience of the war itself, as measured by Google searches, partially mediate these effects.

乌克兰战争爆发对欧洲绿色偏好的影响

本研究探讨乌克兰战争对亲环境态度的影响。利用欧洲社会调查的2021-2022年浪潮，我们利用2022年2月战争爆发的时间作为自然实验。通过比较九个欧洲国家在战争爆发前后接受采访的个人的亲环境偏好，我们发现亲环境政党的政治偏好和对气候变化的关注显著下降。进一步的调查显示，能源价格的上涨和战争本身的突出性（以谷歌搜索量衡量）部分地调解了这些影响。
