Researchers have developed an LLM panel to score environmental and climate policy positions in political manifestos, offering a cost-effective and reproducible alternative to traditional expert surveys and manual coding. The panel was applied to 41 manifestos from the 2024 European Parliament election across six countries, validating its results against the Chapel Hill Expert Survey. While the LLM panel generally aligns with expert rankings, it tends to score parties as greener than experts perceive them, a difference attributed to the gap between manifesto promises and actual governing records. The study also found that position and salience are related for environmental protection but independent for climate change, and the developed instrument is open-source, multilingual, and complements existing methods.
