Development and application of global economy-wide climate change modelling capacity to support EU policy preparation for European Commission, DG Climate Action
In this project
- We use analytical tools to analyse policy-relevant questions from the European Commission to inform them of developments in the field of energy policies and climate policies on a global scale. More specifically, we focus on key trends with respect to economic development, energy policy, land use policy and climate policy at a global scale that may directly affect EU climate policies (through their impact on carbon markets; for instance) or indirectly, through impact on global energy flows or low-carbon technology developments.
- We use a range of existing analytical tools to assess mitigation policies on a global scale with sufficient regional and national detail covering all sectors responsible for emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
- We use a available analytical tools to improve the knowledge of existing and planned climate and energy policies on a global scale for many major emitting countries.
- And finally, we look into the relationships between emission trends and proposed climate polices and long-term climate goals such as the likelihood of achieving the 2°C objective.
