With the research on the attitude of Slovenian and Austrian companies to climate change and their innovation activities, authors tried to understand the impact of climate change on companies in the forest-wood sector, their attitudes towards climate change and their motivation for action on climate change, and how climate change encourages them to develop new strategies, processes or products. The data file is in English and the data refer to different periods, namely the time of the survey and the periods from 2016-2018 and 2018-2020. 293 companies from Slovenia and Austria participated in the survey.

The research was conducted as part of a bilateral project by the InnoRenew CoE Renewable Materials and Healthy Environment Research and Innovation Centre of Excellence and the Institute for System Sciences, Innovation and Sustainability Research at the University of Graz, Austria.

In the Slovenian part of the survey, same companies were invited as in the previous survey on innovation activities in 2019. Data from this survey are available in ADP: https://doi.org/10.17898/ADP_INDEP19_V1.
