PARIS REINFORCE
PARIS REINFORCE is an EU-funded research and innovation project aimed at effectively supporting the design of climate policies, in light of these requirements
NDC ASPECTS develops innovative and gender-responsive mitigation pathways and policy and governance options to support the implementation of the Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of key countries.
IAM COMPACT is an EU-funded research project aimed at effectively supporting the assessment of global climate goals, progress, and feasibility space, as well as the design of the next round of NDCs and policy planning beyond 2030 for major emitters and non-high-income countries.
DIAMOND project aims to contribute to the development of the next generation of integrated assessment models (IAMs), which will be fully open and sufficiently equipped to scientifically underpin and support an accelerated transition towards circular, resilient, desirable, and sustainable climate neutrality.
The overall vision of the Horizon 2020 project Energy Citizens for Inclusive Decarbonization (ENCLUDE) is to help the EU to fulfill its promise of a just and inclusive decarbonization pathway through sharing and co-creating new knowledge and practices that maximize the number and diversity of citizens who are willing and able to contribute to the energy transition.
DECIPHER aims to improve decision-making on the areas of climate change and biodiversity by proposing a new assessment framework beyond mainstream economics, integrating advanced economic and biophysical models, empirical methods, and stakeholder participation.
The TRANSIENCE project will create an open, integrated, modular framework to simulate pathways toward achieving the transition of European industries to climate neutrality while fully integrating material efficiency and circular economy measures in energy and climate models. To do this, it will bring together the consortium’s high-level expertise behind, and backbones of, well-established models in actively informing climate, energy, and industrial policies in Europe, addressing concerns related to broader sustainability, including environmental synergies or trade-offs, changes in industrial output, employment, competitiveness, global sourcing, trade, and other macroeconomic indicators. The end product, the Model for European Industry Circularity and Climate Change mitigation (MIC3), will allow to establish the required capacities and provide useful insights for industrial circularity performance and decarbonisation. MIC3, the ‘satellite’ modules comprising it and the scenario exercises stemming from it will be entirely co-developed and validated with relevant stakeholders from industry, policy, and civil society, as well as used to inform assessments and transition strategies, at EU and country level, at global level, and within 4 heterogeneous regional industry clusters in Europe, to ensure their usability and exploitation in real-world use cases.
