EC4MACS: European Consortium for Modelling of Air Pollution and Climate Strategies, for European Commission, DG Environment
The aim of EC4MACS is to:
- Provide the necessary scientific and economic analyses for the revision of the Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution and the European Climate Change Programme. Establish and maintain the analytical capacity to assess the policy effectiveness of reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases through bringing together established modelling tools from the relevant fields
- Enhance the analytical capacity of the current model implementations by including relevant new scientific findings in different fields so that the tool will be up-to-date for policy application in 2010/2011.
- Update the model databases with most recent statistical data and projections on energy, transport, agriculture, emissions for all European countries (including the EU Member States) and economic sectors.
- Achieve acceptance of modelling tools and data from stakeholders from Member States, industry and other interest groups
- Make the assessment tool available to the public via the Internet.
