SUMMARY:EIEE Seminar-Webinar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Seminar-Webinar \nTitle: Systemic Cooling Poverty: A Conceptual Framework and an Assessment in 29 Countries in the Global South \nSpeakers: Giacomo Falchetta\, ECIP and Enrica De Cian\, ECIP \nModerator: Anna Pirani \nAbstract: Systemic Cooling Poverty is defined as a situation of multidimensional deprivation that prevents an individual from achieving thermal comfort and adapting to hot temperatures. Deprivation can arise from exposure to specific climatic conditions\, lack of infrastructure and assets\, the existence of social and thermal inequalities\, health conditions\, education and work standards. Here we introduce the SCP framework (Mazzone et al. 2023) and we provide a quantitative assessment in the Global South\, covering 29 countries. We assemble a wide range of data sources from household surveys (n = 1\,155\,106 households)\, historical climate records\, large geospatial datasets\, and satellite data to represent the five core dimensions of SCP: (i) climate\, (ii) infrastructure and assets\, (iii) social and thermal inequalities\, (iv) health\, and (v) education and labor standards.  We are able to identify areas with high concentrations of households facing severe SCP\, identify the main drivers of observed SCP\, and highlight key interventions to reduce deprivation and increase adaptive capacity. The systemic representation of the different dimensions of heat adaptation deprivation allows to significantly advance the understanding of existing and growing heat-related risks\, also due to climate change and socio-demographic change. \n  \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:EIEE Seminar-Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Title: The times they are a-changin’: How political attitudes change with energy prices \nSpeaker Jan Steckel (MCC) \nAbstract: We study the impact of the 2022-2023 energy crisis in Germany on political  attitudes. We collect 4 waves of panel data to measure how political stances change with increasing energy prices for households. Our difference-in-differences estimation exploits unique features of the German energy sector’s billing routines\, which allows for a quasi-experimental design. We show that increases in electricity payments lead to a decline in support for democratic institutions\, with effects intensifying over time. We also find that the price shock increased support for the far-right populist party among people who have little trust in the responsible use of public money.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: Low Depression Zones? The Effect of Driving Restrictions on Air Pollution and Mental Health \nSpeaker: Johannes Brehm\, research associate at RWI – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research in Berlin\, a PhD Candidate at the Hertie School\, and a Joachim Herz Fellow. \nAbstract: Does exposure to air pollution impact mental health? This paper uses administrative health insurance data to estimate the long-term cumulative effects of air pollution exposure on mental health outcomes. For identification\, we exploit the staggered introduction of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) across German cities\, which restrict access for emission-intensive vehicles. We find that LEZs reduce various air pollutants and improve the population’s mental health measured by depression and anxiety diagnoses\, prescriptions\, and specialist visits. The health benefits emerge gradually\, with younger individuals benefiting the most. Our findings suggest substantial mental health co-benefits and avoided health costs from improved air quality. \n  \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: High-stakes decisions from low-quality data: AI decision-making for ecosystem conservation \nSpeaker: Lily Xu\, Postdoc at Oxford \nAbstract: Wildlife poaching pushes countless species to the brink of extinction\, with animal population sizes declining by an average of 70% since 1970. To aid rangers in preventing poaching in protected areas around the world\, we have developed a machine learning system to predict poaching hotspots and plan ranger patrols. In this talk\, we present technical advances in multi-armed bandits\, robust reinforcement learning\, and causal inference\, guided by research questions that emerged from on-the-ground challenges in deploying this system. We also discuss bridging the gap between research and practice\, from field tests in Cambodia and Uganda to large-scale deployment through integration with SMART\, the leading platform for protected area management used by over 1\,200 wildlife parks worldwide. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: Corporate Taxation and Carbon Emissions \nSpeaker: Luigi Iovino\, Bocconi University \nAbstract: We study the relationship between corporate taxation and carbon emissions in the U.S. We show that dirty firms pay lower profit taxes. This relationship is driven by dirty firms benefiting disproportionately more from the tax shield of debt due to their higher leverage. In addition\, we document that the higher leverage of dirty firms is fully accounted for by the larger share of tangible assets owned by such firms. We build a general-equilibrium multi-sector economy and show that a revenue-neutral increase in profit taxation could lead to large decreases in aggregate carbon emissions without any noticeable change in GDP. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:EIEE Internal Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Developing the next-generation\, high-performance macro-energy system models\nSpeaker: Filippo Pecci\, Associate Research Scholar (Princeton University) \nWith the increasing urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions\, it is critical to identify decarbonization pathways subject to engineering\, environmental\, political\, and economic constraints. Energy system planning models have a pivotal role in guiding energy innovation and resource allocation decisions\, helping to avoid misallocation of investment\, understand the role of emerging technologies and impact of possible policy interventions\, and develop robust strategies to transition to a net-zero economy.To provide credible support for planning and policy decisions\, these models need to include detailed operations and time-coupling constraints\, consider multiple possible realizations of weather-related parameters and demand data\, and allow modeling of discrete investment and retirement decisions. Such requirements result in large-scale mixed integer optimization problems with tens to hundreds of millions of variables and constraints\, pushing even the best commercial solvers to their computational limits. Due to these computational constraints\, existing models are heavily simplified by: sampling representative time periods or ignoring sequential operations entirely (e.g.\, “time slices”); aggregating regions into larger geographic zones; and/or ignoring or relaxing key operational constraints. These abstractions can ensure models are computationally tractable but come at the cost of significantly reduced accuracy that impacts their ability to provide credible decision support. Benders decomposition offers scalable approaches to leverage distributed computing resources and enable models with both high resolution and computational performance. In this seminar\, we present a tailored Benders decomposition method for large-scale energy planning models with multiple planning periods\, stochastic operational scenarios\, time-coupling policy constraints\, and multi-day energy storage and reservoir hydro resources. Using multiple case studies\, we demonstrate that the proposed methods enable high-resolution\, mixed-integer energy planning models with unprecedented computational performance. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Workshop on Climate Migration
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP ON CLIMATE MIGRATION \nEvent details \nJuly 22-24\, 2024 \nVilla del Grumello\, (Como\, Italy) \nWORKSHOP ON CLIMATE MIGRATION from July 22nd to July 24th 2024 @Villa del Grumello\, Como\, Italy \nCurrently\, about 3.4% of the world’s population is composed of international migrants and global migration is expected to increase due to not only population growth but also the adverse impacts of climate change. Besides climate change’s direct role in the displacement of people (through natural disasters such as floods and droughts)\, there is growing evidence of strong adverse effects of climate change on economic development\, which can ultimately and indirectly result in temporary or permanent migration of people within and between regions. Similar to the movement of people\, the movement of goods in the form of trade is subject to the impacts of climate change as it represents a possible mechanism for adaptation to climate change. These dynamics need to be put into the broader context of geopolitical trends affecting international trade patterns\, including protectionist industrial policies\, supply chain disruptions\, and climate policies aimed at reducing emissions through border adjustment measures. \nObjectives: through multidisciplinary approaches\, the workshop will help advance understanding of climate change impacts on human migration and international trade and the possible interrelations between trade and migration as two alternative means of adaptation to climate change. The workshop aims to identify gaps in research and facilitate reflection on whether climate change will ultimately imply a broader structural transformation in the affected economies. \nDownload the agenda here.  \nTOPICS:  \n\nMigration and adaptation\nData and modelling improvement\nHeterogeneity in responses\nFuture migration and implications\n\nFACULTY  \n\nDr. Christoph ALBERT\, Collegio Carlo Alberto of Turin\nDr. Maria ALSINA-PUJOLS\, ETH Zurich\nDr. Hélène BENVENISTE\, Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability\nDr. Ingrid BOAS\, Wageningen University\nDr. Marion BORDERON\, University of Vienna\nDr. Bruno CONTE\, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)\nDr. Christoph DEUSTER\, Demography and Migration Unit of the European Commission\nDr. Joseph-Simon GÖRLACH\, Bocconi University\nDr. Toon HAER\, Institute for Environmental Studies of Vrije Universiteit\nDr. Roman HOFFMAN\, Migration and Sustainable Development Research Group of IIASA\nDr. Raya MUTTARAK\, University of Bologna\nDr. Michele RONCO\, European Commission\nDr. Jacob SCHEWE\, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\nDr. Arkadiusz WISNIOWSKI\, University of Manchester\n\nOrganised by: \n\nDr. Cristina Cattaneo\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\nDr. Soheil Shayegh\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\n\nAcknowledgement: \nThis workshop is part of: \n\n“Predicting socio-economic impacts of climate change” CMCC scientific program.

SUMMARY:EDITS Webinar
DESCRIPTION:EDITS Webinar\nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Paul Brockway – Faculty of Environment – University of Leeds\, UK. Dr Paul Brockway is an Associate Professor in Energy and Economics at the Sustainability Research Institute at the University of Leeds\, UK. He has a 5 year research fellowship on the topic ‘Applying thermodynamic laws to the energy-GDP decoupling problem’\, where he applies an Exergy Economics approach to study thermodynamic energy conversion within energy-economy modelling frameworks.Dr Carey King – Energy Institute\, The University of Texas at Austin.\nDr. Carey W King performs interdisciplinary research related to how energy systems interact within the economy and environment as well as how our policy and social systems can make decisions and tradeoffs among these often competing factors. Carey is Research Scientist at The University of Texas at Austin and Assistant Director at the Energy Institute of the University of Texas at Austin.\nDr Jaime Nieto Vega\, University of Valladolid\, Spain and the University of Leeds\, UK. Since 2016\, Dr Nieto has been working as a researcher at the University of Valladolid; and in 2018\, he combined this work with a long and fruitful stay at the University of Leeds. He currently works part-time at both centers\, contributing his efforts on researching the interactions between the economy and the environment\, specifically in relation to energy resources.\n\nModerator: Stefan Pauliuk\, Uni Freiburg\, Germany \nAbstract: Common energy-economy models feature only limited energy-economy integration and thermodynamic consistency. Typically\, they only assign a small role for energy in economic growth and fail to explicitly include the useful stage of energy flows or ignore thermodynamic efficiencies in primary–final–useful energy transformations. As a consequence\, the economy-wide impacts of the energy system transformation are potentially underestimated\, and the physical feasibility of different transformation remains unassessed. Furthermore\, material cycles and stocks of buildings\, infrastructure and machinery\, as well as explicit indicators of service provisioning for housing\, nutrition\, mobility\, etc are often also not well represented (Wiedenhofer et al. 2024). This limits our ability to assess the potentials of materials- and energy-oriented supply- and demand-side strategies aligned with a 1.5-2°C global warming limit. In response\, novel macro-econometric models are being developed for coupling the transformations of the energy system (efficiency\, energy services\, rebound)\, the industrial system (materials\, products) and the macro-economic system (employment\, GDP\, debt). In this seminar\, three leading model frameworks are presented\, which address these challenges: \n\nHARMONEY\, presented by Carey King: A long-term dynamic growth model that endogenously links biophysical and economic variables in a stock-flow consistent manner.\nMARCO\, presented by Paul Brockway: A post-Keynesian framework\, explicitly including thermodynamic energy efficiency and flows of useful energy\, with stochastic equations and econometrically estimated parameters.\nMEDEAS\, presented by Jamie Nieto: An open source modelling framework to represent biophysical constraints to energy availability\, integration of detailed sectoral economic structure (input–output analysis) within a system dynamics approach\, and a rich set of socioeconomic and environmental impact indicators.\n\nAfter an introduction to the model frameworks\, there will be a common discussion about the underlying assumptions\, data needs\, further development\, and future applications. \n  \nThis EDITS webinar is a collaboration between the CMCC Foundation\, CIRCOMOD and CircEUlar projects\, and the Socioeconomic Metabolism Section of the International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE-SEM). \n\nThe Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations (EDITS) project is an initiative 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.\nThe CircEUlar project has received funding from the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action Programme under Grant Agreement No. 101056810.\nThe CIRCOMOD project has received funding from the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action Programme under Grant Agreement No. 101056868.

SUMMARY:EAERE 2024
DESCRIPTION:Policy Session 8\nIntegrating carbon removals into climate policy governance \nTime: Wednesday\, 03/July/2024 – 11:00am – 12:45pm \nOrganized by Resources for the Future (RFF) and European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) \nAs achieving Paris Agreement limits on temperature increase continues to be challenging\, there is growing interest in both the US and EU (and elsewhere) in deployment of technologies for “engineered” as well as nature-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere. The need for substantial CDR in the latter half of the 21st century is documented in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the Special Report on achieving a 1.5°C temperature increase. Yet\, an international panel of experts coordinated by Oxford University concluded in a late 2022 report that no countries have adequately developed policy frameworks for a large scaling-up of CDR.\nInterest in CDR in the EU derives from a proposal for a net 90% reduction in GHG emissions by 2040\, and from the emissions cap in the EU ETS falling to zero by 2039 (with potential liquidity issues in the ETS before then). The EU has already proposed a legal mechanism for the certification of removals. In the US\, in contrast\, the emphasis has been on tax breaks (e.g.\, the Inflation Reduction Act) and government financing of RD&D to propel further maturation of engineered CDR technologies and some initial commercial-scale investments. Debates in both the EU and US have also addressed the need for certain “enabling regulations” to accomplish transmission and long-term storage of CO2; the integration of CDR into existing regulations for GHG reduction\, including design of cost-effective policy mechanisms; and issues of both distributional equity and environmental justice in the energy transition. This last issue\, which is often overlooked\, includes the implications of CDR for local air quality if traditional industrial patterns continue\, as well as implications for continuing use of\, versus phasing out of\, fossil fuels. \nSpeakers \n\nMassimo Tavoni\, European Institute for Environmental Economics (EIEE)\nÅsa Löfgren\, University of Gothenburg\nEve Tamme\, Climate Principles\nMichael A.

SUMMARY:ELEVATE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:ELEVATE Webinar\nTitle: Reducing cost of capital to finance the energy transition in developing countries: a multi-model analysis \nSpeaker: Matteo Calcaterra\, CMCC Foundation \nAbstract: Climate stabilisation requires mobilising significant investments in low- and zero-carbon technologies\, especially in emerging and developing economies. However\, access to stable and affordable finance varies dramatically across countries. Models used to evaluate the energy transition do not differentiate regional financing costs and therefore cannot study risk sharing mechanisms for renewable electricity generation. Here\, we incorporate empirically estimated cost of capital differentiated by country and technology in an ensemble of five climate-energy-economy models. We quantify the additional financing cost of decarbonization borne by developing regions\, and explore the implications of policies towards international convergence of country risk premia in energy investments. We find significant climate and equity benefits in alleviating financial constraints regarding increased renewable penetration and more affordable energy in the developing world. The exercise shows the importance of fair finance for energy availability\, affordability\, and sustainability\, and the necessity to include financial considerations in model-based assessments.

SUMMARY:GEOCEP webinar
DESCRIPTION:GEOCEP webinar\nSpeaker: Silva Emilson\, University of Auckland    \nModerator: Shayegh Soheil\, CMCC Foundation \nTitle: Critical Minerals\, Electric Goods\, and the Global Energy Transition \nAbstract: \nCountries are actively pursuing the energy transition\, yet this process carries geopolitical consequences. Our paper delves into this dynamic by analyzing the implications of Chinese exports of critical electrical goods on national energy transitions\, lithium and rare earth production and prices\, and oil prices. Using a GVAR from 2012M7 to 2019M12 across 12 economies\, with a focus on Australia (due to its near-monopolistic position in lithium)\, China (nearly monopolistic in rare earth)\, and the U.S.\, our study reveals that Chinese exports of critical electrical goods create a dependency for Australia and the U.S.\, making them reliant on the Chinese energy matrix. Furthermore\, our findings show that China\, both directly and indirectly\, influences domestic energy transitions\, and lithium and rare earth production. The indirect channels involve China’s impact on lithium and rare earth prices\, with a notably higher influence in the rare earth market\, reflecting its dominant position in this mineral. While the oil price is generally not pivotal for the energy transition of economies\, the U.S. stands as a unique case where oil prices are essential to understanding its energy matrix and critical minerals production. Finally\, we observe that Australia and the U.S. respond to escalating Chinese exports by increasing their production of critical minerals. We discuss the implications of our results\, which suggest the potential for geopolitical tensions and the possibility of international cooperation to advance energy transition. \n  \nThis event is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 870245.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: Changing consumption behavior with carbon labels: Causal evidence on behavioral channels and effectiveness \nSpeaker: Anna Schulze Tilling\, University of Bonn \nAbstract: Carbon labels are an increasingly popular policy tool to decrease the carbon footprint of consumers’ choices. However\, not much is known about their effectiveness relative to other policy instruments and the channels via which they affect behavior. Through a series of experiments\, including two framed field experiments (N=289 and N=444\, respectively) and one natural field experiment (involving more than 120\,000 purchase decisions by over 10\,000 customers) conducted in a student canteen setting\, I provide causal evidence that carbon labels impact consumption behavior. I evaluate the labels’ effectiveness in comparison to a carbon tax\, both through direct elicitation (framed field experiment) and by using pricing variations (natural field experiment). In both settings\, I find that the overall effectiveness of the labels is similar to that of a carbon tax of Euro 120 per tonne. Further\, complementary evidence from both settings conveys that the labels on average create psychological benefits for consumers. In the second framed field experiment\, I identify the behavioral channels driving label effectiveness by varying treatment conditions. I find that carbon labels mainly impact consumers by directing attention towards carbon emissions\, and less by correcting consumers’ perceptions about carbon footprints. Using a structural model and data from the second framed field experiment\, I estimate that carbon labels on average increase consumer welfare. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: “Behavioural Spillovers Unpacked: Estimating the Side Effects of Social Norm Nudges” \nSpeaker: Julien Picard\, LSE \nAbstract: Fighting the climate crisis requires changing many aspects of our consumption habits. Previous studies show that a first pro-environmental action can lead to another. But does this spillover effect persist when nudges foster the initial action? We model the mechanisms leading nudges to alter such behavioural spillovers. In an online experiment (n=2775)\, we test if encouraging vegetarianism with a social norm nudge alters environmental donations. The nudge is effective in increasing intentions to choose vegetarian food. Using machine learning\, we find that a subgroup drives this effect. We also see a positive spillover effect: choosing vegetarian food increases donations. However\, the nudge crowds out this spillover effect for the subgroup identified with machine learning. Our results suggest that social norm nudges are effective but crowd out people’s willingness to do more. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:CAPABLE and ECEMF Webinar
DESCRIPTION:CAPABLE and ECEMF Webinar\nTitle: “Credibility makes or breaks the price: political commitment in long-term climate policy key for effective EU emissions trading system” \nSpeaker: Robert Pietzcker leads the National Energy Transitions Team in the Energy Systems group at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). A physicist and economist by training\, his work focuses on analyzing the energy transition in the EU and Germany\, and providing insights on the climate policies needed achieve greenhouse gas neutrality. \nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\,\, Fondazione Centro Euromediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) \n  \nDuring the webinar\, Dr. Robert Pietzcker will present the main insights from the paper “EU carbon prices signal high policy credibility and farsighted actors” recently published in Nature Energy (Sitarz et al\, 2024)\, and discuss the importance of considering short- or farsightedness of firms when designing climate policies. \n  \nPaper abstract: \nCarbon prices in the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) are a key instrument driving Europe’s decarbonization. Between 2017 and 2021\, they surged tenfold\, exceeding 80 €/tCO2 and reshaping investment decisions across the electricity and industry sectors. What has driven this increase is an open question. While it coincided with two significant reforms tightening the cap (“MSR reform” and “Fit for 55”)\, we argue that a reduced supply of allowances alone cannot fully explain the price rise. A further crucial aspect is that actors must have become more farsighted as the reform signaled policymakers’ credible long-term commitment to climate targets. This is consistent with model results that show historic prices can be better explained with myopic actors\, while explaining prices after the reforms requires actors to be farsighted. To underline the role of credibility\, we test what would happen if a crisis undermines policy credibility such that actors become myopic again\, demonstrating that carbon prices could plummet and endanger the energy transition.

SUMMARY:EDITS webinar
DESCRIPTION:EDITS webinar\nSpeaker: Alessio Mastrucci\, IIASA;  Benigna Boza-Kiss\, IIASA  \nModerator: Leila Niamir\, IIASA \nTitle: ‘Building sector modeling: how to explore low energy demand futures’ \nAbstract: \nBuildings provide critical services for human activities and well-being by providing shelter and other important functions to their users. Buildings are also responsible for major energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during their life cycle. It is critical to understand how the building sector could best ensure these services with the least impact on climate and sustainability targets. \nBuilding sector models have become essential tools for decision support on strategies to reduce energy demand and GHG emissions. Yet current models have significant limitations in their ability to assess the transformations required for LED. In this webinar we will review the current variety of building sector models ranging from the subnational to the global scale to identify best practices and critical gaps in representing transformations toward LED futures. We focus on three key dimensions of intervention (socio-behavioral\, infrastructural\, and technological)\, three megatrends (digitalization\, sharing economy\, and circular economy)\, and decent living standards. We will discuss what model developments are needed to better assess LED transformations in buildings and support decision-making toward sustainability targets.

SUMMARY:EDITS webinar
DESCRIPTION:Leverage demand-side policies for energy security\nSpeaker: Nuno Bento\, Integrated Researcher at the DINÂMIA’CET research center at University Institute of Lisbon – Iscte. \nModerator: Miyuki Nagashima\, Senior Researcher\, Systems Analysis Group\, Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). \nAbstract: Energy security is a top priority for governments\, companies\, and households because energy systems and the critical functions that they support are threatened by disruptions from wars\, pandemics\, climate change\, and other shocks (1). More often than not\, governments rely on policies focused on energy supply to enhance energy security while generally ignoring demand-side possibilities. Further\, the indicators traditionally used to measure energy security are also tilted toward the supply side; this fails to capture the full spectrum of vulnerability to energy crises. Energy security assessments need to reflect the wider benefits of security-related interventions more accurately. To that end\, we develop a systematic approach to measuring the energy security impacts of policy interventions that explicitly considers energy demand (buildings\, transport\, and industry). We determine that demand-side actions outperform conventional supply-side approaches at making countries more resilient. Read more in the full paper (here). \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.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: Energy System Modelling in support of EU Climate Policy: the role of the JRC model POTEnCIA in the setting of the 2040 Climate Target \nSpeaker: Frederik Neuwahl\, European Commission\, Joint Research Centre (JRC) \nAbstract: The 2040 Climate Target\, adopted by the European Commission on February 6th of this year\, is the last major climate change mitigation policy initiative of the current Commission. It bridges the 2030 decarbonisation targets of the Fit for 55 Policy Package with the 2050 climate neutrality objective set in the EU Climate Law. In short\, it is about setting a path to reach net-zero emissions within two and a half decades. In order to support the choice for such a pathway\, the Commission conducted a comprehensive ex-ante Impact Assessment making extensive use of quantitative modelling tools. Eventually\, in the Communication adopted on February 6th\, the Commission decided to aim for an ambitious 90% reduction from 1990 level\, based on some 600 pages of Impact Assessment as well as on the recommendations contained in more than an hundred pages of advice of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change. The quantitative analysis of the Impact Assessment was based on a long-established suite of models that span the Energy dimension\, economics\, transport\, land use\, and emissions. For this policy initiative\, however\, the Commission decided to expand the set of simulation tools used to develop energy scenarios in a multi-model approach that prominently included the participation of the POTEnCIA model. POTEnCIA (Policy-Oriented Tool for ENergy and Climate change Impact Assessment) is a detailed energy system model developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commissions since 2011 to endow the Institution with an in-house tool for the detailed assessment of energy and climate change policy scenarios. It reached operational status 5 years ago with the publication of the first POTEnCIA energy Outlook to 2050\, and the 2040 Climate Target is one of the first applications of this tool in direct support of a major new EU policy proposal. The 2040 Climate Target is a non-legislative document. It recommends an interim decarbonisation target towards full decarbonisation in 2050. It will then be for the next Commission to move forward with the consolidation of this proposal into a possible mandatory target and in a fully-fledged legislative package to deliver on that target.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar - Seminar 
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: “Unequal climate impacts on global values of natural capital” \nSpeaker: Bernardo Bastien Olvera\, Postdoctoral Scholar at UC San Diego \nAbstract: Ecosystems generate a wide range of benefits for humans\, including some market goods as well as other benefits that are not directly reflected in market activity1. Climate change will alter the distribution of ecosystems around the world and change the flow of these benefits2\,3. However\, the specific implications of ecosystem changes for human welfare remain unclear\, as they depend on the nature of these changes\, the value of the affected benefits and the extent to which communities rely on natural systems for their well-being4. Here we estimate country-level changes in economic production and the value of non-market ecosystem benefits resulting from climate-change-induced shifts in terrestrial vegetation cover\, as projected by dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) driven by general circulation climate models. Our results show that the annual population-weighted mean global flow of non-market ecosystem benefits valued in the wealth accounts of the World Bank will be reduced by 9.2% in 2100 under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP2-6.0 with respect to the baseline no climate change scenario and that the global population-weighted average change in gross domestic product (GDP) by 2100 is −1.3% of the baseline GDP. Because lower-income countries are more reliant on natural capital\, these GDP effects are regressive. Approximately 90% of these damages are borne by the poorest 50% of countries and regions\, whereas the wealthiest 10% experience only 2% of these losses. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:Internal Seminar-Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Flying to net zero: the role of aviation in demanding for and enabling Carbon Dioxide Removal\nSpeaker: Nicoletta Brazzola \nAbstract: Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and meeting ambitious climate goals requires a comprehensive approach that includes carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. This seminar examines the critical role of CDR in enabling the aviation sector to achieve net-zero emissions\, while also considering the potential for this sector to serve as a catalyst for CDR development. Through an interdisciplinary lens and across different studies\, we explore various strategies for achieving climate neutrality and scaling up CDR. Focusing primarily on a promising but nascent CDR method\, Direct Air Capture (DAC)\, we assess the role of CDR in achieving climate-neutral aviation by evaluating the demand for CDR and the comparative cost-effectiveness of different mitigation options based on DAC. Specifically\, our findings suggest that DAC-based fuels could offer economic advantages under climate neutrality targets\, while also acting as an early deployment niche by circumventing regulatory constraints and accelerating DAC adoption. Looking ahead\, we outline future research directions and critical questions to address challenges in CDR scale-up. \n\nEIEE members only

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar\nTitle: How to Increase Public Support for Carbon Pricing \nSpeaker: Davide Pace\, LMU Munich \nAbstract: The public acceptability of a carbon price depends on how the revenues from carbon pricing are used. In a fully incentivised experiment with a large representative sample of the German population\, we compare five different revenue recycling schemes and show that support for a carbon price is maximised by a “Climate Premium” that pays a fixed\, uniform\, upfront payment to each person. This recycling scheme receives more support than tax and dividend schemes\, than using revenues for the general budget of the government\, and than earmarking revenues for environmental projects. Furthermore\, we show that participants and experts underestimate the public support for carbon pricing. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar\nTitle: The Electric Vehicle Rebound Effect \nSpeaker: Kenneth Gillingham\, Yale School of the Environment \nAbstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising technology for the decarbonisation of transportations\, especially now that battery storage technologies are becoming more energy-dense and affordable and policy efforts are in place to make electricity generation cleaner. This has triggered intense policy action around the planned phase-out of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and large volumes of investments by automakers as they convert their production. Yet\, the degree to which EVs and ICEs are substitutable in the eyes of consumers is an empirical question. EVs are different from ICEs on a number of dimensions\, most notably they generally cost much less to drive but more upfront\, and charging stations are not yet as pervasive as gas stations so that users often complain about range anxiety. As EVs are substantially cheaper to drive per mile than ICEs\, a rebound effect may occur after a household purchase a EV if the savings are then reallocated to increase total VMT and the miles traveled using ICEs. Yet\, applying estimates of the rebound effect obtained from studies that look at purchase of more fuel-efficient vehicle would be inappropriate as the difference in costs per miles is substantially more pronounced. Moreover\, policies that make charging cheaper (such as TOU rates\, managed charging) may again increase total driving (a second type rebound effect)\, potentially reducing the promised environmental benefits of EVs. At the same time\, policies that increase gasoline prices (such as carbon/gasoline tax) should shift VMT away from ICE vehicles and towards EVs. Understanding the substitutability between these vehicles is therefore crucial as we move towards pricing policies that internalize externalities of gasoline consumption. The aim of this paper is to look at how households adjust their total VMT and the allocation of VMT between vehicles in response to the purchase of an EV (we focus in particular on battery electric vehicles\, or BEVs)\, as well as in response to changes in gasoline prices and electricity rates. These results will also help us estimate to what extent EVs can offset the use of existing ICE vehicles. To answer these questions\, we use detailed information on the composition of households’ vehicle portfolio in Massachusetts (from registration data) and the miles driven by each vehicle over time (from inspection data)\, combined with a rich set of household and location characteristics. \n  \nThis research is the result of a joint work with Beia Spiller (RFF) and Marta Talevi (UC Dublin). \n  \nRegister in advance.
