Assessment of EU climate policies in a EU mid-century perspective.

closed

The objective is to make available quantitative (modelling) tools and apply these to assess options for future EU climate and energy policy. This entails the assessment of economic, environmental and social impacts for the EU and individual Member States. State-of-the-art models are to be used, and these have to be updated where needed and their integration needs to be ensured. A baseline projection and variants thereof need to be constructed. The effects of possible climate and energy policies including those related to non-energy greenhouse gas emissions such as those from land use, agriculture, waste and industrial sectors will need to be assessed. Finally, information needs to be exchanged in an interactive process with Member State experts and stakeholders. The modelling has to cover all EU Member States individually, candidate countries (and where possible other European countries). All sectors emitting greenhouse gas emissions have to be covered.
