SUMMARY:RFF – CMCC – EDITS Webinar
DESCRIPTION:IMPLICATIONS OF ENERGY SUFFICIENCY ON ELECTRICITY DEMAND AND SYSTEM COSTS: A QUANTIFIED ASSESSMENT \nSpeaker: Bianka Shoai-Tehrani\, RTE – Pôle Stratégie\, Prospective et Evaluation – Direction Economie du Système Electrique – Pôle Etudes Economiques et Environnementales \nModerator: Benigna Boza-Kiss\, IIASA \nAbstract: While an increasing number of countries adopt a carbon neutrality target\, the search for emission cutting solutions tends to shift from low-carbon energy technologies towards demand-side transformations\, including low-energy demand lifestyles. Such lifestyles can include both energy efficiency and energy sufficiency measures. While energy efficiency revolves around technology-based solutions to cut consumption and thus emissions – though not always effective due to rebound effect – sufficiency consists in reducing one’s own demand as a choice. Such a transformation thus has the potential to reduce energy demand with economic benefits as it could allow avoiding some of the low-carbon investments needed to achieve carbon neutrality. However\, as it is rooted in socio-behavioral considerations\, it is difficult to quantify the potential for the reduction in energy consumption that would result from the adoption of an energy sufficient lifestyle. In light of these issues\, this paper aims at identifying plausible changes in electricity consumption behaviors in France linked with a sufficient lifestyle\, and quantifying the associated energy consumption reduction and economic benefits on the road to carbon neutrality by 2050. \n

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-AdJUST and CAPABLE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:THE IMPACT OF GREEN POLICIES ON LOCAL ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM THE EU ETS\nSpeaker: Ireri Hernandez Carballo\, Bocconi University and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, CMCC \nModerator: Cristina Cattaneo\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, CMCC \nAbstract: Environmental policies such as the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) raise concerns about their impact on employment and competitiveness. Yet\, exist- ing EU ETS studies focus on firm-level outcomes and the initial phases of the program. We construct a panel dataset of about 15\,000 European NUTS3 level provinces between 2005 and 2019 to assess the impact of the EU ETS\, and in particular on its Phase III\, on the local economic performance\, namely gross value added (GVA)\, employment\, and productivity per employee (PPE) of European provinces. We employ data on emissions covered by the EU ETS to construct a continuous measure of local level exposure. Using a continuous difference-in-differences fixed effects framework\, we find that that being more exposed to the EU ETS is associated with negative and significant results on employment and significant increases in productivity\, starting from Phase II. These results are confirmed both at the sector and general NUTS3 level\, suggesting that local economies have generally been able to increase their productivity as an answer to the constraints posed by the EU ETS system. \nPaper’s Authors: Gian Maria Mallarino\, Bocconi University and OECD\, and Ireri Hernandez Carballo\, Bocconi University and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, CMCC

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-LOCALISED Webinar
DESCRIPTION:UNDERSTANDING ITALY’S STAGNATION \nSpeaker: Max Krahe\, Institute for Socioeconomics\, University of Duisburg-Essen\, Dezernat Zukunft – Institute for Macro-finance \nModerator: Severin Reissl\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) \nAbstract: Italy’s economic stagnation is a matter of fiscal\, national\, and European concern. Since a good remedy requires an accurate diagnosis\, this paper summarises\, compares\, and evaluates the main explanations for this stagnation. After describing Italy’s recent economic record\, the paper reviews three families of explanations: “unwillingness to reform” accounts\, monetary integration accounts\, and accounts that prioritise the firm-level perspective. Concluding that\, taken by themselves\, none of them provide a fully convincing account\, a synthesis of their most promising elements follows. While the paper does not develop proposals for a new reform mix\, its diagnosis implies that any credible reform package must tackle the deep roots of Italy’s stagnation\, without repeating the investment-suppressing mistakes of the last 30 years. In light of this\, positive conditionality – i.e. conditions that unlock additional resources\, as with NextGenEU – with a focus on companies\, institutions\, and investment\, may be a promising way forward. \n  \nRegistration required: https://cmcc-it.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsfumgrTItH9Z-R6hrUa1qfuO3fGDHsDoP \nRegister in advance for this meeting: you will receive a confirmation email containing more information.

SUMMARY:EDITS Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Demand-side opportunities to address recent crises: recent findings from the buildings sector\nSpeakers: SOURAN CHATTERJEE\, University of Plymouth\, and DIANA URGE-VORSATZ\, Central European University \nModerator: ELENA VERDOLINI\, University of Brescia and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) \nAbstract: Disruptions and crises pose major hardship for humanity\, the provisioning systems\, and the ecosystem. At the same time\, these non-linear events also provide unique opportunities for accelerating the energy transition\, while addressing the challenges of the crises themselves. Yet\, it has been shown that very little of the opportunities to restructure the energy demand system due to the pandemic have been taken advantage of. Similarly\, the discourse on response measures to recent crises (COVID-19\, energy security problems in Europe\, civil disorder\, energy market and price volatilities\, cost of living shocks\, etc.) miss or at least under-emphasize key potentials to rethink how societal longer-term goals of universal wellbeing within the planetary boundaries could be reached. \nThe presentation will highlight the key opportunities through which crisis response strategies can mitigate the impacts of current and future crises while accelerating our progress towards climate mitigation targets through demand-side measures. With a stronger focus on the demand-side (and distributed renewables) related measures\, harnessing and piggy-backing on changes brought by these crises (e.g.\, energy price hikes\, pop-up infrastructure)\, policies can achieve a broader spectrum of benefits (e.g.\, jobs\, health\, pollution reduction\, energy security\, equity). Focusing particularly on the buildings sector will allow to mitigate the burden of these disruptions on households and economies in a better way than many of the currently popular supply-side response measures. In particular\, demand-side measures are also ideally fit to combat the acute energy price crisis and ensuing inflation\, making them key for creating just energy transitions. \n  \nThe webinar is organized in the framework of the Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations (EDITS) project\, which is coordinated by the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)\, and funded by Ministry of Economy\, Trade\, and Industry (METI)\, Japan. \n

SUMMARY:CMCC@Ca'Foscari Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Reducing the Unequal Access to Cooling Energy: Evidence from the Residential Electricity Market in India\nSpeaker: Filippo PAVANELLO \nAbstract: As temperatures and income increase\, household will rely more on air-conditioning to maintain thermal comfort in their dwellings. However\, the access to residential cooling energy is highly unequal\, and air-conditioning remain a luxury good in most developing countries. As heat stress harms human well-being\, identifying cooling adaptation inequalities and adequate policies is critical to protect the most vulnerable. This work thoroughly studies the cooling inequality problem in India\, one of the main emerging economies\, where the need for space cooling technologies is prominent. First\, we provide evidence on the inequality in the access and use of residential cooling energy through an in-depth analysis of the intensive and extensive margin responses of Indian households. We then use our estimates to project how the cooling inequality would develop in the future without government interventions. We show that future increasing incomes are not sufficient to reduce the cooling gaps\, and urgent action and investment would be necessary to protect people most at risk from extreme heat. Finally\, exploiting household-level information on the purchasing cost of cooling appliances\, we find that subsiding more than half of the purchasing cost would highly reduce the cooling gap even in the low-income households\, and the benefits of using the technology would be greater than its operational cost for the new adopters. \nTo attend in presence: \nMeeting Room\, CMCC@Ca’Foscari offices\, Porta Dell’Innovazione building\, VEGA Park\, Second floor\nPlease notice that we have a limited number of seats available.

SUMMARY:CMCC@Ca'Foscari Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Impact of Air-conditioning on Residential Electricity Consumption across World Countries\nSpeakers: Filippo PAVANELLO\, Giacomo FALCHETTA \nAbstract: This paper provides the first global assessment of the energy implications of households’ climate change adaptation through air-conditioning. We pool household survey data from 25 countries and employ a discrete-continuous choice econometric framework to simultaneously estimate the adoption and utilisation of air-conditioning. After identifying how individual drivers determine households’ adaptation behaviours\, we combine the estimated responses with socioeconomic\, demographic\, and\, climate change scenarios available at a high spatial resolution to project future air-conditioning adoption and electricity demand\, as well as the contribution of individual determinants. On average\, air-conditioning ownership increases households’ electricity consumption by 37%\, but the effect is highly heterogeneous\, and it varies with weather conditions\, income levels and across countries\, revealing the importance of behaviors\, practices\, climate\, and technologies. Compared to other socioeconomic\, demographic\, and climatic drivers of electricity demand\, air-conditioning has the leading marginal effect\, and it can account for a significant share of households’ budget. We then show that\, especially in developing and emerging countries\, age\, education\, and urbanisation reinforce the positive\, long-term effect of income and high temperatures on air-conditioning adoption and electricity demand for space cooling. The overall effect of socio-demographic\, economic\, and climatic drivers is a net increase in regional and global air-conditioning electricity by 2050. Electricity expenditure for air-conditioning is an important benchmark for tracking a new dimension of energy poverty related to the need of space cooling and our projections points at a new\, emerging risk associated with this form of households’ adaptation. \nTo attend in presence: \nMeeting Room\, CMCC@Ca’Foscari offices\, Porta Dell’Innovazione building\, VEGA Park\, Second floor\nPlease notice that we have a limited number of seats available.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:International aviation and shipping in a world below 2°C \nSpeaker: Olivier Dessens\, Senior Research Associate\, Bartlett School Environment\, Energy & Resources\, University College London\nModerator: Eduardo Müller Casseres\, Energy Planning Program\, COPPE\, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro \nAbstract:\nAviation and shipping each account for only about 2 to 3% of the global total greenhouse gas emissions but over the last decades they exhibited the fastest growing sources of emissions. This is mainly due to record growth in demand driven by increasing passenger number and freight volume.\nMoreover\, international shipping and aviation were excluded from the Paris Agreement’s national accounting. Instead\, responsibility for dealing with the sectors emissions has been delegated to specialist UN agency – the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).\nThe ICAO has adopted an aspirational goal of ‘Carbon Neutral Growth from 2020’ for international aviation\, this is to be achieved through a basket of measures\, including the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The IMO has adopted an agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels. However\, the role of both sectors in a world of deep decarbonisation is still relatively unclear.\nWe first discuss available policies and technologies for reducing the emissions of international transport (technological or operational efficiency improvements\, use of alternative fuels\, demand shift and market-based incentives).\nWe then present the results of six global IAMs with different structures and modelling dynamics under the same economic assumptions and carbon budgets focussing on international aviation and shipping emissions. These scenarios have been developed within the NAVIGATE project to achieve below 2oC. The scenarios developed are not considering the respective ICAO and IMO policies and goals as our aim is to compare the modelling results to these targets.

SUMMARY:IAMC Annual Meeting 2022
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Meeting: November 29 – December 1 at the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center\, College Park\, MD\, USA\nOnline Poster Sessions: November 29 – 30\nThe Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC) announces the Fifteenth IAMC Annual Meeting to be held in College Park\, Maryland\, home of the University of Maryland\, in College Park\, MD\, USA. The event will be held in person\, with a portfolio of online events as part of the programme. Presentations in oral sessions (keynote sessions\, and parallel oral sessions) will be held in person\, with attendance both in person and online. \nIn-person sessions will be organised in the U.S. Eastern Time zone. IAMC will take action in order to mitigate the inconveniences that this may create for participants based in regions with different time zones\, such as making the recording of sessions immediately available for participants for a certain time. Two kinds of poster sessions are planned: fully online and fully in person. Presenters in fully in-person sessions can present their poster also at the fully online sessions if they wish so. \nIAMC hopes that this model will provide the appropriate framework for another inspiring and intellectually lively meeting. \nMore info: https://www.iamconsortium.org/event/fifteenth-iamc-annual-meeting-2022/ \n  \n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar series - James Sallee
DESCRIPTION:Title: Pigou Creates Losers: On the Implausibility of Achieving Pareto Improvements from Efficiency-Enhancing Policies \nSpeaker: James Sallee\, UC Berkley\n\n \nAbstract: Economic theory predicts that efficiency-enhancing policy changes can be made to benefit everyone through the use of lump-sum transfers that compensate anyone initially harmed by the change. Precise targeting of compensating transfers\, however\, may not be possible when agents are heterogeneous and the planner faces\nconstraints on the design of transfers\, due\, for example\, to asymmetric information. In this paper\, I derive an impossibility condition showing when Pareto improvements are not possible. The condition can be directly tested with readily available data. It relates the size of efficiency gains to the degree of predictability between initial burdens and variables used to condition transfers. The main empirical application is to a gasoline tax\nto correct carbon emissions\, but I present related results for other sin taxes. Results indicate that it is infeasible to create a Pareto improvement from the taxation of these goods\, and moreover that plausible policies are likely to leave a large fraction of households as net losers. The paper argues that the existence of these losers is relevant to policy design and may help explain political challenges faced by many efficient policies.

SUMMARY:Assessing systemic climate change risk though composite indicators 
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nDENITSA ANGELOVA\, CMCC@Ca’ Foscari\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and Venice Ca’ Foscari University \nDenitsa Angelova holds a PhD in Economics at the  Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. Previously she worked as a senior researcher at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the Technical University of Munich and serves as a consultant for the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences on matters regarding statistics\, big data\, and supercomputing applications in economics.  She has comprehensive expertise in applied economic research\, conceptual and quantitative modeling. \nModerator:\nFRANCESCO BOSELLO\, CMCC@Ca’ Foscari\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and Venice Ca’ Foscari University \nGraduated at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, he received a Master degree in economics from the University College of London (UK) and a Doctoral degree in economics from the University of Venice. He is presently associate professor of economics at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, and senior scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) where he coordinates the Economic Analysis of Climate Impacts and Policy division. He is deputy director of the European Institute for Economics and the Environment a joint initiative between CMCC and the US Resources for the Future. Previously he has been an associate professor at the University of Milan and an affiliate scientist at the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Milan. He is currently undertaking research activities in the area of climate change impact assessment and the design of optimal mitigation and adaptation strategies developing integrated assessment modelling tools and applied general equilibrium economic models.  His other research interests are more broadly related to international environmental agreements and the economics of the environment and of sustainability. \nAbstract:\n\nWe propose a country-level climate risk index that is transparent\, replicable\, grounded on quantitative information and rigorously rooted on the IPCC AR5 climate risk definition consisting in the intersection of hazard\, exposure\, and vulnerability. The climate risk index ranks 145 countries applying rigorous methods for normalization\, weighting\, and aggregation of the risk components. It was demonstrated that applying this climate risk definition\, the exposure component\, on its turn strictly correlated with population\, dominates hazard and vulnerability (sensitivity and adaptive capacity). This result is robust to sensitivity tests on key parameters. Accordingly\, countries with large populations would tend to score high in terms of climate risk\, while countries with a small population would score low.

SUMMARY:COP 27 event | The transmission of climate impacts through international trade: implications for the EU
DESCRIPTION:The historical evidence and the economic literature confirm that international trade can play an important role in smoothing negative economic shocks experienced by a country. There is\, however\, a growing body of evidence that trade can also act as a transmission channel for localized crises\, especially those affecting major importers or exporters of key commodities. This session will present analysis of these dynamics in the context of climate change\, assessing the potential\, trade related\, cascading macroeconomic and sectoral effects on the EU\, triggered by impacts on agricultural commodities\, energy demand\, and supply chain stresses associated with the interruption of important maritime trade nodes. The effects of  these dynamics on food markets will also be discussed\, through case studies of  international food systems and Brazilian soy. \n  \nSPEAKERS \nFrancesco Bosello\, EIEE \nEmilie Stokeld\, Research Assistant\, SEI York \nJoe Simpson\, Research Assistant\, SEI York \nRichard King\, Senior Research Fellow\, Environment and Society Programme\,  Chatham House \nRania Zaatour\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, Potsdam Institute for Climate  Impact Research (PIK) \n\nCOP27 Cascading Climate Risks Virtual Pavilion   \nIn 2022\, the direct impacts of climate change – such as droughts\, floods\, and  wildfires – have become impossible to ignore.\nHowever\, these impacts can also have knock-on effects which are less immediately  visible: effects that cross borders and continents\, escalating through security  relations\, international trade\, financial markets\, international aid operations or  migration.\nSuch complex chains are set to have increasingly significant impacts on our  societies as the world experiences the effects of a changing climate.\nGaining an understanding of them\, and the ways in which they can be mitigated and adapted to\, is crucial as we move into an uncertain future.\nThe COP27 Cascading Climate Risks Virtual Pavilion\, hosted by Chatham House’s  Environment and Society Programme offers the opportunity to explore these emerging dynamics with experts in the field.\nTaking place over two days during the COP27 climate conference\, the pavilion  convenes researchers and stakeholders from CASCADES\, an interdisciplinary research project devoted to the analysis of the cross-border impacts of climate change.\nSupported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme\, CASCADES applies state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative research and stakeholder engagement approaches to identify critical areas of concern for  European societies and EU policy and explore different solutions.\nPlease note that\, with the exception of the Adaptation Without Borders event which is taking place in a hybrid format\, all events are online. \nAccess to the pavilion is entirely online\, and no UNFCCC accreditation is required. \n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE \nOnline via Chatham House COP27 Cascading Climate Risks Virtual Pavilion\nRegistration: https://chathamhouse.cplus.live/auth/sign-up/cop27-cascading-climate-risks-virtual-pavilion

SUMMARY:Achieving an 80% carbon-free electricity system in China by 2035
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jiang Lin\, University of California\, Berkeley (bio) \nAchieving an 80% carbon-free electricity system in China by 2035 (paper) \nAbstract: Dramatic reductions in solar\, wind\, and battery storage costs create new opportunities to reduce emissions and costs in China’s electricity sector\, beyond current policy goals. This study examines the cost\, reliability\, emissions\, public health\, and employment implications of increasing the share of non-fossil fuel (“carbon free”) electricity generation in China to 80% by 2035. The analysis uses state-of-the-art modeling with high resolution load\, wind\, and solar inputs. The study finds that achieving an 80% carbon-free electricity system in China by 2035 could reduce wholesale electricity costs\, relative to a current policy baseline\, while maintaining high levels of reliability\, reducing deaths from air pollution\, and increasing employment. In our 80% scenario\, wind and solar generation capacity reach 3 TW and battery storage capacity reaches 0.4 TW by 2035\, implying a rapid scale-up in these resources that will require changes in policy targets\, markets and regulation\, and land use policies.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar series - Rohini Pande
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rohini Pande\, Yale University\nTitle Money (Not) to Burn: Payments for Ecosystem Services to Reduce Crop Residue Burning \nAbstract  \nParticulate matter reduces life expectancy across India. We use a randomized con-trolled trial in the Indian state of Punjab to evaluate the effectiveness of conditionalcash transfers (also known as payments for ecosystem services\, or PES) in reducingcrop residue burning\, which is a major contributor to the region’s poor air quality.Credit constraints and distrust may make farmers less likely to comply with standardPES contracts\, which only pay farmers after verification of compliance. We randomizepaying a portion upfront and unconditionally. We observe high contract take-up forboth types of contracts. Despite lower compliance incentives\, farmers offered partialupfront payment are 8-11 percentage points more likely to comply with the contract\,significantly more than farmers who receive the standard contract. Non-burning mea-sures derived from satellite imagery indicate that while upfront PES payments reducedoverall burning\, standard PES payments were infra-marginal. We also show that\, giventhe Indian context\, conditional cash transfers to farmers that have an upfront compo-nent are a cost-effective way to improve India’s air quality.

SUMMARY:AdJUST - kick-off meeting
DESCRIPTION:AdJUST – kick-off meeting will take place in Milan\, on the 24th-26th of October \nAdJUST is a transdisciplinary European consortium whose objective is to achieve a step-change in societal understanding of the distributive repercussions of the transition to climate neutrality\, and to identify effective and actively-supported policy interventions to accompany climate action so that no-one is left behind. To do this\, AdJUST combines research approaches from complementary disciplines with a continuous social dialogue\, ensuring that the project practices open science\, models procedural justice\, and builds understanding\, trust\, and capacity among citizens and other stakeholders concerning the transition to climate neutrality. AdJUST engages European public bodies\, industry\, civil society\, and researchers—i.e. the quadruple helix—to design and promote a shared vision\, inspiring them towards the common goal of achieving climate neutrality. It relies on state-of-the-art economic assessment tools\, statistical analysis\, and research approaches from other Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH) disciplines—including political science\, business management\, public administration\, political theory\, philosophy\, and ethics—to generate methodologically-sound research results on the full range of challenges of the just transition. These comprise technical\, economic\, and social/equity dimensions for firms\, workers\, households\, and public bodies\, and the potential distributional impacts of the EU Green Deal\, NextGenerationEU\, and Fit for 55—EU Packages henceforth.\nAdJUST will use this knowledge to produce a set of actionable and context-specific policy recommendations—complementing the Just Transition Fund and the Social Climate Fund—to effectively manage competitiveness and distributional trade-offs associated with the transition across Europe\, and in specific countries and sectors.

SUMMARY:DISTRIBUTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON RESIDENTIAL ENERGY DEMAND: TWO APPROACHES AND TWO COUNTRIES
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nLorenza Campagnolo\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and CMCC – ECIP Division \nModerator\nJohannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, CMCC – SEME Division\nAbstract\nAdjusting energy demand in response to climate change or weather variation is a common form of adaptation; what is scarcely analysed are the distributional consequences of this adaptive behaviour on household income distribution and welfare. This topic will be examined using two different methodologies in two very different countries.\nThe first approach relies on a recursive-dynamic general equilibrium model combined with a sequential arithmetic micro-simulation module and it evaluates the macroeconomic and distributional implications for Italian households and regions under climate change. Acknowledging the limitations of this methodology\, it highlights the heterogeneous effect of climate warming across households and its implications on regional energy poverty.\nThe second approach uses microdata to develop a multi-household recursive-dynamic CGE model for India. Decile-specific households are directly represented inside the model. The amount of energy for adaptation in response to rising temperatures is an endogenous behaviour taking place at the household level. The analysis highlights the direct implications of changes in household energy expenditure on income distribution and other welfare indicators.

SUMMARY:NAVIGATE - Project meeting
DESCRIPTION:NAVIGATE partners will meet after more than 3 years for an in-person meeting in Potsdam at PIK headquarter! \nThe project started with the kick-off meeting in September 2019 and after that\, only online project meetings were organized.\nThe overall objective of the project NAVIGATE is to develop the next generation of integrated assessment models that can directly support the design and evaluation of EU and international climate policies and inform the alignment of climate action with sustainable development goals. To achieve this objective\, NAVIGATE aims to advance IAM capabilities in key areas for climate policy support. \nIn particular\, NAVIGATE will: \n\nsubstantially improve the representation of transformative processes in interlinked social\, technological and economic systems;\ndevelop a new capability to represent transformative changes in consumer goods and services;\nsubstantially improve the modelling of individual sector transformations in energy\, industry\, transport\, buildings\, and agriculture;\ndevelop a new capability to capture spatial and social heterogeneity;\ndeepen the integrated assessment of mitigation pathways in terms of a multi-dimensional assessment of costs\, benefits due to avoided impacts\, and co-benefits due to interaction with other sustainable development goals;\nimprove transparency\, legitimacy and usability of IAM results for users such as policy makers\, businesses\, civil society organizations\, as well as experts from related disciplines interested in using IAM results for climate policy analysis.\n\nTo this end\, NAVIGATE plans to make a significant investment in a targeted stakeholder dialogue.

SUMMARY:European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform 2022
DESCRIPTION:Acting on the ambitions to a net-zero EU: roadblocks\, challenges\, and opportunities\nThe annual ECEMP conference brings together Europe’s climate and energy modelling community over a three-day period in a forum for deep exchange of research and modelling practice and varied discussions. The event will feature a balanced mix of high-level panel discussions and interactive workshop sessions to enable a peer-reviewed digest of models and policy insights for the transformation of the European energy system. The ECEMP 2022 conference will be a platform for exchange among researchers and modelling teams from across Europe; from H2020 projects\, representatives of the European Commission as well as partners from industry and civil society. \n\nIn agreement with the European Commission\, the former EMP-E Conference has adopted a new name\, “European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform (ECEMP)”\, to consider the increasing role of climate policies and climate change and their impact on energy demand and supply planning. \nThis year’s conference will be planned again as an online event\, due to uncertainties regarding the possibility of physical meetings. We will set up the same possibilities for interaction as last year to ensure an engaging\, policy-oriented and enjoyable conference experience. \nThe original EMP-E was created in 2017 and has since been organised on a yearly basis by the H2020 Energy Modelling group – a group of projects funded by the European Commission’s Research and Innovation Programme. This year\, the event is coordinated by ECEMF – the European Climate and Energy Modelling Forum\, with support of SENTINEL\, NAVIGATE\, WHY\, OpenENTRANCE\, PLANET\, CINTRAN\, PARIS REINFORCE\, EMB3RS\, and newTRENDs. The conference does not have a registration fee as it is funded by the European Commission.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar - Bento
DESCRIPTION:Title: Why do inefficient policies persist? Evidence from Energy Subsidies in Brazil \nSpeaker: Antonio M. Bento\, University of Southern California and NBER\nModerator: Luis Sarmiento\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici \nAuthors:\nAntonio M. Bento (University of Southern California and NBER)\nClaudio Lucinda (University of Sao Paulo)\nNoah Miller (University of Southern California) \nabstract: Policymakers often rely on energy subsidies as a strategy for to control inflation\, and transferring wealth to sub-groups of the population. Once introduced\, these subsidies tend to persist in time. Taking advantage of an unexpected announcement to phase out a persistent energy subsidy in fuel markets in Brazil\, we estimate its effects to Petrobras – brazil’s main oil company controlled by the government\, in an event-study setting. We then embed these econometric estimates into an equilibrium model to examine the overall costs\, the distributional impacts\, and political economy considerations of this program.\nOur central result implies that the continuation of the energy subsidy would have resulted in an overall cost to Petrobras of approximately $18.827 billion Brazilian reais. This subsidy would have transferred approximately $9.088 billion to consumers. For every dollar transferred to consumers via an artificially fixed lower gasoline prices\, the distortionary cost of was roughly $1\, and many orders of magnitude higher than other alternative subsidies that don’t protect consumers against fluctuations in international crude oil prices or cash transfers. Further\, although the political coalition that supported the government would have likely benefited more from these other alternative instruments\, the highly inefficient price freeze persisted\, which is consistent with a policymakers with risk averse preferences for policy change.

SUMMARY:The Global Climate Policy Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch event of the Global Climate Policy Partnership\, a global network of research institutions helping major economies and businesses achieve ambitious climate goals. During this webinar we’ll delve into a crucial component of the climate challenge: the manufacturing sector. While one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions come from this sector\, structuring policies to reduce these emissions is complicated by the fact that manufactured products are often traded on competitive international markets. National policies designed to reduce emissions inevitably raise the cost of production and can lead to lost domestic and international competitiveness\, and the leakage of emissions to nations with less stringent emission reduction policies. \nBoth the European Union and the United States are developing policies that would impose tariffs on imported primary commodities and complex goods from nations deemed to have weak industrial emissions limitation policies. This virtual event\, part of the Climate Week NYC 2022 activations\, will bring together global experts to review current policy proposals and discuss their implications for the climate challenge. \nSpeakers\n\nKeigo Akimoto\, Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth\nJos Delbeke\, European University Institute School of Transnational Governance\nCarolyn Fischer\, Resources for the Future\, World Bank\nMichael Jakob\, Ecologic Institute\nSuzi Kerr\, Environmental Defense Fund\nRoberto Schaeffer\, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro\nRaymond Kopp\, Resources for the Future (Moderator)

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar series – Florian Oswald
DESCRIPTION:Title: Fiscal Policy for Climate Change \nSpeaker: Florian Oswald\, Sciences Po University\, France\nModerator: Severin Reissl\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy\n \nAuthors: François Le Grand\, Florian Oswald\, Xavier Ragot and Aurélien Saussay\n \nAbstract: Fiscal policy offers a number of levers to reduce carbon emissions. Climate change mitigation can for example be\nimplemented through carbon taxation on the production or consumption side\, or through debt-financed public investments in\nemission-reducing infrastructure. Yet these various instruments may differ significantly in their cost-effectiveness in reducing\nemissions and in their distributional impacts among households. We develop a macroeconomic heterogeneous-agent model with environmental externalities to address both of these questions. In this model\, households derive utility from the consumption of carbon-intensive and clean goods\, and from the environmental damages resulting from CO2 emissions. In addition\, CO2 emissions affect productivity and thus relative prices. We use household data on the distribution carbon-intensive goods consumption to estimate preference parameters. Starting from a realistic fiscal structure\, we then implement various tax reforms to analyze their effects on both CO2 emissions and consumption along the consumption distribution.

SUMMARY:RFF- CMCC- EDITS webinar - Stefan Pauliuk
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stefan Pauliuk\, University of Freiburg\, Germany.  \nModerator: Laurent Drouet\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui\nCambiamenti Climatici\, Italy \nTitle: Reductions in material production induced by demand-side strategies: Implications for sustainable development \nAbstract: Growing in-use stocks of materials in the technosphere are essential for further human development\, especially in emerging economies\, but also for the energy transition and digital transformation in the Global North. At the same time\, growing in-use stocks are a major obstacle for a circular economy and they are major drivers of environmental destruction and GHG emissions from material production from primary resources.\nDemand-side solutions from efficiency and sufficiency strategies can lead to reduced need for new products and thus new materials. I\npresent modelling results for the LED scenario (Grubler et al. 2018) for the impact of demand-side strategies for passenger vehicles and buildings on material production and related GHG emissions. I will explain the data and assumptions that went into our scenarios and\npoint out the shortcomings of the modelling approach used. The discussion can then focus on approaches for consistent and inter-disciplinary low demand modelling of industrial output and material production\, in particular. \n

SUMMARY:ELEVATE Kick-off meeting
DESCRIPTION:ELEVATE – kick-off meeting will take place in The Hague\, on the 14th and 15th of September.  \nELEVATE is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme and the consortium consists of 20 partners and brings together leading research groups to support climate policymaking within and outside the EU. These research groups are involved in modelling international climate policy\, national policies\, social science\, policy analysis\, environmental assessment\, and stakeholder engagement. \nWorld-leading institutions in globally integrated assessment modelling are a central part of the ELEVATE consortium (IIASA\, PBL\, PIK\, CMCC\, E3M\, NIES\, KU\, UFRJ/COPPETEC\, and UMD). This means that the consortium involves all teams that have played a leading role in the coordination and development of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways\, which serve to integrate the assessment of mitigation\, adaptation and impacts research across the climate change science community. \nTo implement the Paris Agreement’s goals\, greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced to net zero around 2050. However\, current policies are still insufficient to reach this target and net-zero promises by countries are generally lacking concrete roadmaps on how to reach them. ELEVATE aims to create a robust scientific understanding required to strengthen NDCs and current climate policies toward reaching net-zero emissions. For this\, ELEVATE brings together a unique multidisciplinary consortium of leading international and national modelling teams\, climate policy experts and social scientists. The consortium aims to interact directly with policymakers to define information gaps and attractive policies\, thus enhancing the usability of the knowledge base and stimulating mutual learning. Based on this\, the consortium will systematically assess NDCs and policies at the global and national levels to identify current progress and good practice policies. Subsequently\, ELEVATE will look into a range of critical enabling factors related to sectoral action\, international climate policy and the relationship with justice and sustainable development that can be leveraged to strengthen action. \n  \nMore info will be soon available.
