EUCLIMIT III - Service Contract for Modelling of European Climate Policies, for European Commission DG Climate Action
The objective of EUCLIMIT III was to perform model-based scenario quantification which supports the European Commission in undertaking impact assessments and analysing policy options for implementing and further developing the Climate and Energy package and other climate-relevant policies in the EU.
The specific objectives of the project were:
- Updating or constructing baseline projections / reference cases and variants thereof;
- Assessment of the impacts of measures or packages of climate or climate relevant policy measures compared to the relevant baseline(s);
- User-friendly presentation of assumptions and detailed (draft) results on a website and in consultation processes with Member States.
EUCLIMIT made available a suite of mathematical models, which were updated and operational, covering all greenhouse gas emissions, removals and possible ways of emission reductions. The models were linked with each other in formally-defined ways, so as to ensure consistency in the building of scenarios.
Scenario results provided analytical information to support Cost-Benefit/Cost-Effectiveness analysis and other complex analyses involving multiple objectives.
