SUMMARY:LOCALISED Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Practical tools for businesses to tackle decarbonisation \nPresenters: \n\nNadia Soledad Ibañez Iralde\, Architect Researcher at the Energy Research Center of Catalonia (IREC)\nGiorgio Coppola\, Researcher at EIEE-CMCC Institute\n\nIn the framework of the European LOCALISED project\, we invite you to participate in a webinar dedicated to present two free tools specifically designed to support the business sector in the energy transition. \nThe LOCALISED project\, funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission\, aims to bridge the gap between national decarbonization plans and the concrete actions needed at the local level. To achieve this\, the project has developed several digital solutions to facilitate decision-making among local authorities\, citizens\, and businesses\, recognizing that all these groups are key players in the energy transition. \nIn this webinar\, we will present two valuable tools: \n\nThe Net Zero Business Consultant-(NZBC) Developed by the CMCC Foundation in collaboration with Assalombarda\, which is a tool that allows local businesses of the transport\, agriculture and manufacturing sector to assess their risk and vulnerability to the transition.\nThe LOCALISED Sustainable Business Model Canvas (LSBMC)- Designed by the Institute for Energy Research of Catalonia (IREC). A tool designed to help analyse and transform business models to align them with sustainable development. Based on an Excel-like structure\, the tool allows businesses to identify barriers\, detect opportunities and evaluate practical indicators to advance towards decarbonisation.\n\nIn addition\, during the event\, a real case study will be presented to visualize the potential usefulness and capabilities of both tools.

SUMMARY:CMCC Talk
DESCRIPTION:Expanding carbon pricing boundaries and the EU CBAM: insights into China and India\nSpeaker: \nPaola Rocchi\, CMCC \nModerator: \nValentina Bosetti\, CMCC  \nAbstract\nImplemented alongside the EU Emissions Trading System revision\, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers of selected energy-intensive commodities to purchase certificates reflecting the EU carbon price. Aimed to mitigate carbon leakage and promote cleaner industrial practices outside the EU\, CBAM has sparked heated academic and political debates\, and appears to play a role in accelerating the development of domestic emissions control policies in non-EU countries. This paper has two objectives. First\, it provides an ex-ante evaluation of CBAM by assessing its macroeconomic and environmental impacts within the scope and timeframe of the approved legislative text. Second\, it examines CBAM alongside alternative domestic measures that could exempt non-EU countries from CBAM\, focusing on China and India\, major CO2 emitters and EU exporters. Using the FIDELIO general equilibrium model\, we evaluate the effects of CBAM and potential Chinese and Indian policies on international trade\, production\, and environmental outcomes. Our findings suggest that CBAM’s overall macroeconomic and environmental impacts may be negligible under current legislation. However\, the policy significantly affects production and trade in highly energy-intensive sectors. When integrated into a framework of stringent international carbon control policies\, CBAM’s impact on international trade flows is less pronounced\, with notable regional disparities.

SUMMARY:EIEE Seminar-Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Giacomo Grassi\, Senior scientific officer at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission (EC) \nTitle: Reconciling land use emissions and implications for net-zero pathways \nAbstract:\nClimate science and national emissions reporting communities have historically used different definitions and methods for anthropogenic land-based carbon removals. This leads to large discrepancies in land use emissions and brings significant implications for the remaining carbon budget and net zero concept. As the mitigation agenda accelerates\, reconciling these differences for comparability and moving toward integration is crucial for enhancing confidence in land-use emission estimates.

SUMMARY:IAMC Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Futures of overshoot: implications for climate pathways and mitigation strategies\nThe Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC) Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) may promote and organise webinars to divulge IAM research. \nAs we inexorably overshoot critical climate thresholds\, the discussion about future emissions pathways and climate risks intensifies and becomes more complex. \nThis talk will review the history of overshoot for emission and mitigation pathways. We will discuss the multifaceted implications of overshoot for emissions\, transforming energy and economic systems\, and equity and technology. We will also review the literature quantifying the climate risks associated with overshoot. We will conclude by looking at ongoing community scenario activities relevant to the IPCC and identifying key research gaps and required methodological innovations. \nThursday\, April 10\, 2025\n14:00 CET/Vienna time \nPresenter: Massimo Tavoni\nCMCC Foundation\, Director\, EIEE\nFull professor\, School of Management\, Politecnico di Milano \n

SUMMARY:CMCC Talk
DESCRIPTION:Global Harms\, Local Profits: How the Uneven Costs of Natural Disasters Affect Support for Green Political Platforms\nSpeaker:\nSilvia Pianta\, CMCC \nModerator:\nCristina Cattaneo\, CMCC \nAbstract\nExtreme events are becoming increasingly common due to climate change. While conventional wisdom suggests that firsthand experiences with natural disasters foster green coalitions by raising awareness of environmental degradation\, we propose an alternative view: natural disasters can heighten the perceived trade-off between economic development and environmental policies. This study\, conducted within the framework of the ADJUST project coordinated by CMCC and funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme\, examines the case of Brazil\, where large-scale fires\, by clearing natural vegetation\, create new opportunities for land grabbing and the expansion of agriculture and livestock production. Using satellite\, administrative\, and electoral data\, we show that large-scale fires increase support for green candidates only in municipalities unlikely to gain economically from the fires. Survey data further indicates that voters prioritize environmental protection over economic growth only when they stand to receive limited or no benefit from the newly cleared land. Our findings suggest that the potential for natural disasters to foster green coalitions is contingent upon their distributive effects.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Maksym Chepeliev\, Center for Global Trade Analysis\, Purdue University \nTitle: Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) Circular Economy Data Base: Policy Applications and Future Extension \nAbstract: \nAn absolute decoupling of material use from economic growth is of major importance to preserve safe operating boundaries. It is vital to understand how current policy efforts\, including climate mitigation\, could impact material use patterns and what complementary circular economy (CE) policies could be implemented to support dematerialization. At the same time\, there is a lack of global datasets and related modeling tools that could support such an analysis. \nIn this seminar\, Maksym Chepeliev will discuss the recently developed Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) Circular Economy Data Base (GTAP-CE) with a detailed representation of primary\, secondary\, and recycling activities for metals and plastics\, split of fertilizers and cement activities. Several recent policy applications of the GTAP-CE Data Base\, including the circular economy transition assessment for Europe and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism exposure index\, will be discussed in the presentation. In addition\, future extensions of the developed assessment framework\, in particular\, focusing on a more detailed representation of the critical minerals value chains will be introduced. \nEntice has received funding from the European Commission\, under the Horizon Europe programme (grant agreement No 101184775 – ENTICE). Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Commission. Neither the European Commission nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Food for thought at the intersection of climate and public policy  \nSpeaker: Ken Caldeira\, Senior Scientist (Emeritus)\, Carnegie Institution for Science\, Climate Energy Lab \nAbstract: This talk will present a full meal of recent\, and still unpublished\, research that may be of interest to people working at the intersection of climate and public policy. As an antipasto\, I will present recent work detailing the global distribution of energy use. For the primo piatti\, I will present a stylized analysis related to air conditioning\, economic development\, and global warming. This study addresses the question: If current relationships between per-capita GDP\, cooling-degree days\, and air conditioning adoption were to continue into the future\, would projected economic growth be suAicient to shield country-level populations from future increases in hot weather? For the segundi piatti\, I will present a stylized analysis of the sensitivity of climate damage to country-level mean temperature increases as a function of per-capita-gdp and county-level mean temperature. This analysis confirms the unsurprising perspective that climate change poses the greatest threat to poor people living in hot places. For the dessert\, we will take a brief excursion into examination of the predictive skill aAorded by projecting technology learning (or experience) curves into the future. This talk will describe a sample of the kind of stylized studies we have been doing in our research group\, aimed at providing food for thought and discussion.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Greening the International Monetary Fund \nPresenter: Alex Kentikelenis\, Associate Professor\, Department of Social and Political Sciences\, Bocconi University \nAbstract: The International Monetary Fund (IMF)—a key player in global economic governance and the world’s lender of last resort—has recently taken a leading role in policy debates on climate change and the green transition. The organization introduced its Climate Strategy in 2021\, committing to scale up engagement with macro-critical climate issues\, and established the Resilience and Sustainability Facility in 2022 to provide financial support to countries facing adaptation and mitigation challenges. Overall\, the IMF’s closer engagement with the economic dimensions of climate change holds the promise of helping countries pre-empt large scale economic dislocations from environmental risks. \nThis talk—based on a forthcoming book—addresses a set of interrelated questions: How much progress has the IMF made in supporting the green transition? What is the policy track-record of the IMF’s climate loans? How do regular IMF loans and their mandated reforms encompass climate considerations? How have the IMF’s economic surveillance activities considered climate risks? Based on new evidence\, the findings point to the multifaceted\, and at times contradictory\, ways in which green transition objectives have become embedded within the IMF’s activities.

SUMMARY:EDITS Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Circular Economy Modelling for Climate Change Mitigation – Updates from the Horizon Europe CIRCOMOD project \nModerator: Patrícia Fortes (NOVA University\, Lisboa) \nAbstract: While we realise that circular economy offers promising reduction of greenhouse gas emissions\, we have no good understanding of its impact\, magnitude\, synergetic and rebound effects. The current scenarios models and scenarios do not include circular economy options. CIRCOMOD develops a new generation of models that will address this gap. During this session\, we report and discuss the results of 2.5 years of work in the CIRCOMOD project\, focussing on model framework\, demand-side solutions\, supply side measures\, and economy-wide modelling.

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: 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. Toman\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\n\nEAERE 2024 will include fifteen high-level policy sessions\, also streamed online. \nIn-person and online registered are welcome to attend.  \nFurther details and the most updated status of policy sessions are available in the conference full programme.

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.
