Model-based economic analysis is important for policy preparation and essential to achieve the EU objectives on climate change. This cannot be limited to representing the EU economy. Climate policies in the EU also depend on global developments led by the new climate change agreement under the UNFCCC and at national level. This contract should give access to a broad set of state of the art modelling tools that can assess climate policies on global scale and in major partner countries. This contract should be dedicated to improving the performance of the global modelling tools that can inform EU climate policy-making and to improving the understanding of policies put in place in third countries, it should therefore also include data gathering on policies in place or planned in partner countries.
