This dataset and codebook correspond to the initial round of survey data gathered in Delhi and Mumbai (India) in 2023, within the project FULFILL - Fundamental Decarbonisation Through Sufficiency By Lifestyle Changes. 

As part of Work Package 3 (WP3) in the FULFILL project, we collected quantitative data from six countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, and India. In the first round of the survey, we recruited a representative sample of approximately 2000 households in each country, taking into account both the individual and household perspectives. In order to consider sufficiency-oriented lifestyles not only in Europe but also in the Global South, we conducted a similar survey in India. More specifically, we adjusted the survey to fit the context (e.g., including cooling) and, due to the large size and diversity within India, we focused data collection on two Mega Cities (>10Mio inhabitants), namely Mumbai and Delhi. Due to the different cultural context and in exchange with Indian researchers and the supporting market research institute, we decided to change the methodology for data collection from an online survey to face-to-face interviews. The survey includes a quantitative assessment of the carbon footprint in various domains of life, such as housing, mobility, and diet. In addition to this, the survey also measures socio-economic factors such as age, gender, income, education, household size, life stage, and political orientation. Furthermore, the survey includes measures of quality of life, encompassing aspects such as health and well-being, environmental quality, financial security, and comfort.
