PARIS REINFORCE
Integrated Assessment Models framework to support climate policies in the EU and less emitting countries, in respect to the Paris Agreement.
Timeline: 06/2019 to 11/2022
Decarbonisation pathways must be science-based, technically feasible, financially viable and socially acceptable. This requires a transdisciplinary approach and the deep involvement of relevant stakeholders in co-designing robust national, regional, and global climate pathways together with modellers. PARIS REINFORCE, a Horizon 2020 project, provides a unique science-policy interface that actively involves stakeholders in multiple aspects of the scientific processes, from the formulation of relevant policy questions to the definition of modelling assumptions and the interpretation of the results. PARIS REINFORCE ensures that the stakeholder process is integrated in an authoritative scientific process that calls upon the modelling capabilities of an ensemble of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) as well as other energy system and sectoral models.
Bruegel have led the work on stakeholders dialogue, by organizing national and European workshops, ensuring that the thoughts and feedback of stakeholders and policymakers was fed back into the modelling exercise, and publishing policy conclusions. Moreover, Bruegel organized several event and a final Paris Reinforce conference.
