Outputs

Below, you will be able to find all the outputs, including publications, summary notes and webinar recordings, produced throughout the lifetime of the Climate Recon 2050 project. Before the first outputs of the project are made available, we invite you to explore our collection of Partner Publications: a selection of papers and other documents on the topic of climate strategies, decarbonisation scenarios and long-term climate governance, produced by the project’s partners.

Technical Note 4: Modelling at EU and MS level

Vicki Duscha, Sascha Lehmann, Fraunhofer ISI

Modelling of economic and technological developments as well as emissions is key part for policy and strategy development at the EU level and in a number of Member States.

Date of Publication:
November 2018

Technical Note 3: Transparency of Modelling

Frauke Wiese, DTU Mangement Engineering
Energy system models play an important role in the process of deriving climate strategies and policies. Full transparency in calculating these long-term scenarios is essential for credibility and reproducibility of the scenarios and the respective climate strategies. Open data and models furthermore enable broad collaboration and increase efficiency by avoiding duplication of work.

Briefing Note 1: 2050 Climate Strategies in EU Countries: State of Play

Ewa Iwaszuk, Matthias Duwe, Ecologic Institute

The Briefing Note presents the first insights of the Climate Recon 2050 project.

The document brings together insights from the discussions on long-term climate planning held among policymakers from 10 EU Member States, and builds on related research conducted by project partners.

Date of Publication:
October 2018

Technical Note 2: Topics of interest in context of modelling for 2050 long-term strategies in the EU and its Member States

Ines Haug, Vicki Duscha, Fraunhofer-ISI.
This summary note presents key topics of interest to modelling community, in the field of developing decarbonisation scenarios and modelling for 2050 long-term strategies in the EU and its MS.

Technical Note 1: Low-emission mobility & transport

Ruth Blanck (Öko Institut), Till Gnann, Patrick Plötz (Fraunhofer ISI)
Transport accounts for about 25% of Europe’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2015 and the emissions mainly stem from road transport fuel. This technical note aims to discuss current practices in modelling policies for a transition towards low-carbon transport.

Long-term Climate Governance: Research into 2050 climate laws and strategies

Partner Publication by IDDRI, Ecologic Institute and the LSE Grantham Research Institute (GRI)
Strong national climate governance frameworks are crucial to establish and maintain political support for the low-carbon transition. Robust governance frameworks combine key elements such as legally binding targets, broad stakeholder participation and review mechanisms that allow for adjustments over time.
