SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Linus Mattauch
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTransport has a large number of significant externalities including carbon emissions\, air pollution\, accidents and congestion. Increased active travel such as cycling and walking can reduce these externalities. Moreover\, public health research has identified large additional social gains from active travel due to health benefits of increased physical exercise. We introduce health benefits and active travel options into a model of transport externalities to study appropriate policy responses. We characterise the optimal second-best fuel tax analytically: when physical exercise is considered welfare-enhancing\, the optimal fuel tax increases. Under our central assumptions\, the increase is 34% in the US and 38% in the UK when health benefits from physical exercise are included. We argue that fuel taxes should be implemented jointly with other policies aimed at increasing the uptake of active travel to reap the full health benefits. \nWednesday\, 21 October 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Optimal fuel taxation with suboptimal health choices\nSpeaker: Linus Mattauch\, U Oxford

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Frances Moore
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nClimate change is damaging ecosystems throughout the world with serious implications for human well-being. Quantifying the benefits of reducing emissions requires understanding these costs but the unique and non-market nature of many goods provided by natural systems makes them difficult to value. Detailed representation of ecological damages in models used to calculate the costs of greenhouse gas emissions has been largely lacking. Here we include natural capital as a form of wealth in a cost-benefit integrated assessment model and show that accounting for the use and non-use value of nature has large implications for climate policy. In our model\, optimal emissions reach zero at the year 2050\, limiting warming to 1.5◦C by the end of the century\, substantially lower than the standard model\, which approaches 3°C by 2100. We show that the cost of climate change could be alleviated by investments in natural capital and that capturing the effect of climate change on natural systems and the welfare effects of these changes should be a high priority for future research. \nWednesday\, 14 October 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Use and Non-Use Value of Nature and the Social Cost of Carbon\nSpeaker: Frances Moore\, UC Davis\, Bernie Bastien\nModerator: Massimo Tavoni

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Simon Dietz
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe show that economic models of climate change produce climate dynamics inconsistent with current climate science models: (i) the delay between CO2 emissions and warming is much too long and (ii) positive carbon cycle feedbacks are mostly absent. These inconsistencies lead to biased economic policy advice. Controlling for how the economy is represented\, different climate models result in significantly different optimal CO2 emissions. A long delay between emissions and warming leads to optimal carbon prices that are too low and attaches too much importance to the discount rate. Similarly\, we find that omitting positive carbon cycle feedbacks leads to optimal carbon prices that are too low. We conclude it is important for policy purposes to bring economic models in line with the state of the art in climate science and we make practical suggestions for how to do so. \nWednesday\, 30 September 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Are economists getting climate dynamics right and does it matter?\nSpeaker: Simon Dietz\, London School of Economics

SUMMARY:Why we need a carbon tax – William Nordhaus
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRaising prices through a carbon tax\, is a far more effective and efficient way to lower carbon emissions than direct government controls on the quantity of emissions through\, say\, regulatory limits on cars and power plants. Higher prices will encourage firms and consumers to find alternatives to carbon-based products as well as encourage new technologies that will make those substitutes competitive. Can the proceeds be used to compensate low income families hit particularly hard by the taxes? \nThe event in the programme can be watched live on the date and at the time (Italian local time) shown on the website www.festivaleconomia.it\, with live Facebook videos also provided for in some cases. We also invite you to follow the Facebook page of the Festival of Economics\, where the events to be broadcast live will be listed.\nAll the recordings of the events will be available on the website from the day after the live broadcast.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Catherine Hausmann
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nResearch spanning several disciplines has repeatedly documented disproportionate pollution exposure among the poor and communities of color. Among the various proposed causes of this pattern\, those that have received the most attention are income inequality\, discrimination\, and firm costs (of inputs and regulatory compliance). We argue that an additional channel – information – is likely to play an important role in generating disparities in pollution exposure. We present multiple reasons for a tendency to underestimate pollution burdens\, as well as empirical evidence that this underestimation can disproportionately affect low-income households. Using a model of housing choice\, we then derive conditions under which “hidden” pollution leads to an inequality – even when all households face the same lack of information. This inequality arises because households sort according to known pollution and other disamenities\, which we show are positively correlated with hidden pollution. To help bridge the gap between environmental justice and economics\, we discuss the relationship between hidden information and three different distributional measures: exposure to pollution; exposure to hidden pollution; and welfare loss due to hidden pollution. \nWednesday\, 23 September 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Inequality\, information failures and air pollution\nSpeaker: Catherine Hausmann\, University of Michigan

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Robyn Meeks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPoor service quality and theft are challenges common to the electricity sector in developing countries. Smart meters provide additional information to both consumers and utilities\, potentially mitigating these challenges. In a randomized experiment in Kyrgyzstan\, smart meters replaced houses’ old meters. Post-intervention electricity service quality was significantly better among the treatment group relative to the control group. Consumers’ returns to electricity quality improvements were substantial. Treated households’ peak electricity consumption and expenditures on electric appliances increased\, consistent with an improvement in consumer welfare. The utility benefits from the meters\, via increased billed consumption and bill payment\, albeit less than consumers do. \nWednesday\, 16 September 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Enforcement in service delivery: Smart meters and the returns to electricity quality improvements\nSpeaker: Robyn Meeks\, Duke University

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar The cost and uncertainty of climate mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe costs of climate policy are uncertain and depend on a wide range of factors\, including uncertainties in socio-economic and technology development but also in the climate system. In the presentation\, Detlef van Vuuren will illustrate the role of different uncertainties based on a metamodel from climate and integrated assessment models. Calibrating the meta-model to the model-based literature range allows it to go beyond the parametric uncertainty of individual models. The resulting median estimates for the cumulative abatement costs (at 5% discount rate) for 2 °C and 1.5 °C targets are around US$15 trillion and US$30 trillion\, but estimates vary over a wide range (US$10–100 trillion for the 1.5 °C target). Interestingly\, the sources determining this uncertainty depend on the climate target stringency. Climate system uncertainty dominates at high warming levels\, but uncertainty in emissions reductions costs dominates for the Paris Agreement targets. In fact\, costs differences between different socio-economic development paths can be larger than the difference in median estimates for the 2 °C and 1.5 °C targets. Developing simple metamodels in addition to more complex process-based models may help to explore implications of scenario uncertainty and identify research priorities. \nSpeaker: Detlef van Vuuren\, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development\, Utrecht University\, the Netherlands\nDiscussant: Evelina Trutnevyte\, Renewable Energy Systems group\, University of Geneva\, Switzerland\nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:Air Quality Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A View from Two Epicenters
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPlease join Resources for the Future (RFF) on Thursday\, July 9\, for a webinar in our Resources Radio Live series\, featuring Dr. Valentina Bosetti. She will discuss her team’s research on how various lockdown measures affected air quality in China and Italy early in the COVID-19 pandemic\, as well as how pollution levels have rebounded over time.\nDr. Bosetti is a professor in the department of economics at Bocconi University and senior scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has radically altered lives across the globe—and has had a number of dramatic effects on typical patterns of movement\, consumption\, and pollution. Even as the medical community has sprung into action to address the public health impacts of the pandemic—and policymakers seek ways to address the economic consequences—other researchers like Dr. Bosetti are beginning to understand the many ways in which the past few months have affected a range of energy and environmental considerations. \nSpeakers\nValentina Bosetti\, Bocconi University\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\nKristin Hayes\, Resources for the Future (Resources Radio host) \nhttps://www.rff.org/events/webinars/air-quality-impacts-covid-19-pandemic-view-two-epicenters/

SUMMARY:Fostering green finance for a climate-resilient post-COVID-19 recovery
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe COVID-19 crisis can be seen as a wake-up call for our social and financial system to be better prepared for the long-term climate crisis. Today’s financial interventions\, while addressing the short-term health and economic urgencies linked to the pandemic\, must think about the chronic climate crisis to design a resilient and green recovery. Forgetting of the global climate emergency in such a crucial moment for financial investments would mean to lose the opportunity to reverse the previous pattern\, locking us into long-term unsustainable investments and moving the world away from the possibility to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals. \nModerator\nMassimo Tavoni\, Director\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and Professor\, Politecnico di Milano \nPanelists\nBarbara Buchner\, Global Managing Director and Executive Director\, Climate Finance\, Climate Policy Initiative\nIvan Faiella\, Senior Economist\, Banca d’Italia\nSara Lovisolo\, Group Sustainability Manager\, London Stock Exchange Group

SUMMARY:The impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown on air pollution in Lombardia
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAccording to economics and medical science literature\, health issues are connected to airborne pollutants. However\, the complex natural processes underlying this phenomenon are often a drawback for policymakers in designing and implementing interventions aimed at reducing air pollution in urban areas (e.g. traffic restrictions). The complete lockdown which followed the COVID-19 outburst in Italy – during which both people movements and the economy were almost frozen – provides a unique natural experiment to assess the relations existing between local air pollution and different emission sources. This study used machine learning methods to estimate the change in concentrations for major pollutants induced by the lockdown in Lombardy and shows that the lockdown reduced concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx)\, but not fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). This is consistent with the reduction in road traffic\, but small changes in emission from building heating. Authors then computed the estimated life-years saved due to the improved air quality. \nSpeaker: Francesco Granella\, RFF-CMCC\, European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\nDiscussant: Guido Lanzani\, ARPA Lombardia\nModerator: Lara Aleluia\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-EDF Policy Session: Policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies in the US and the EU
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nA Semi-plenary – Joint RFF-CMCC-EDF Policy Session on “Policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies in the US and the EU“. \nThis policy session will promote debate and exchange about the crucial challenges of pursuing an equitable clean energy transition for workers and fossil-fuel dependent communities. Indeed\, the clean energy transition does not just pose technological and scientific challenges\, but also specific socio-economic challenges for “coal and carbon-intensive regions” (i.e. still heavily dependent on fossil-fuel-based industries or extraction). Any ambitious climate policy will further reduce fossil fuel use\, with substantial employment and income impacts in communities where coal\, oil\, gas\, or certain manufacturing activities dominate the economy. Importantly\, many of these regions have already experienced the consequences of deindustrialization and economic dislocation in recent decades. \nPanelists will discuss what effects the transition towards clean energy economies have had/may have on livelihoods and the sustainability of local and regional economies; the will highlight the methodological challenges associated with identify policies and instruments that have been implemented (and could potentially be implemented) to overcome negative effects and capitalize on positive ones; they will illustrate different methodological approaches to achieving a deeper understanding of these issues and promote the design of effective policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies. The session will promote a dialogue between academics\, including but not limited to environmental economists\, and other stakeholders involved with workers\, industry and policy making. \nOrganizer\nElena Verdolini\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC)\nWesley Look\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\nSusanne Brooks\, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) \nChair\nElena Verdolini\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) \nPanelists\nHanna Brauers\, University of Technology Berlin\nSusanne Brooks\, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)\nMarion Dumas\, Grantham Research Institute\, LSE\nWesley Look\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\nFélix Mailleux\, European Trade Union Confederation\nJan Witajewski\, University of Warsaw \nPlease log in before to http://www.fleximeets.com/eaere2020/?p=programme\nRoom : https://tu-berlin.zoom.us/j/97035126084?pwd=K05qSnBnM0NBbHZLSUVCQ3h5bXBIUT09\nWebinar ID: 970 3512 6084\nPassword: 325886

SUMMARY:Green Capital and Green Jobs: a Fast Transition to Green Economy
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTransition to green economy is urgently needed in order to reach the climate targets by the end of this century. In this paper we investigate what it takes for such transition to happen and what is the socially optimal pathway from brown to green economy. We identify endogenous technological change as a central driver of such transition and modify a well-known integrated assessment model (DICE) to include learning-by-doing effect\, in parallel with R&D and education investment. Our results indicate that endogenous technological change can rise abatement rate substantially by bringing down the mitigation cost through learning-by-doing. We show that the green transition requires substantial investment in renewable energy infrastructure and human capital development which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and constrains warming by about 1 degree C lower than the original DICE results.

SUMMARY:DICE at the (almost) country level: Growth impacts and inequality in RICE+
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTwo important economic channels of climate change impacts have been at the core of the recent scientific debate on the economics of climate change: growth impacts and the role of inequality. Here\, we extend the most well-known IAM DICE-2016 by calibrating it at the (almost) country level with more than 50 regions using actual mitigation cost data\, and implement country level growth impacts based on the estimates of Burke et al. [2015]\, Dell et al. [2012]\, Kahn et al. [2019]. The Results in indicate that the country dimension matters and with appropriate inequality aversion specifications\, the 1.5 degree target of the Paris agreement become the optimal temperature in a CBA setting. Moreover\, the distribution across countries shows a significant deterioration of inequality due to country level growth impacts across countries\, which is partly mitigated by climate mitigation.

SUMMARY:The Effects of Dust Storms on Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nDust storms are a common occurrence for populations residing in semi-arid environments and can result in a variety of immediate and long-term impacts. While previous literature documents many of these short-term e ects\, such as increases in various respiratory issues (e.g. asthma attacks\, su ffocation) and increases in traffic accidents (resulting from disrupted transportation networks)\, this is the first study to use exogenous variation in dust exposure due to long-range transport to study the effects of dust storms on health and economic activity. I instrument local dust values using dust observed over the Bod el e Depression of the Sahara Desert\, the largest dust source in the world. Economic growth in West Africa is reduced by 3% per standard deviation increase in dust exposure over 2 years. Agricultural yields decline in the year of impact on average by 2%. The effects found here could be a contributing factor to reduced economic development in West Africa\, and indicate that dust storms should be considered an important part of geographic endowments alongside other climate indicators.

SUMMARY:The benefits of international collaboration on energy innovation in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nEnergy innovation is essential to shifting from a high-carbon economy to a low-carbon economy to address climate change. Among other determinants (technology-push and demand-push factors)\, collaboration plays a crucial role in stimulating energy innovation. However\, the role of collaboration types in low-carbon technology innovation is relatively underexplored. To examine this relationship\, we investigated the effects of the importance of domestic and international collaboration in low-carbon technology patenting in South Korea from 2000 to 2013. We employed a count model with panel (technology and year) fixed effects to estimate the importance of collaboration to low-carbon technology patenting. In general\, we found that collaboration is an important factor in driving low-carbon technology patenting in Korea. In particular\, we found that international collaboration was of significant importance to lagging low-carbon technology fields. The technology-specific panel regression shows that Korean inventors anticipate potential knowledge diffusion from inventors in other countries. In sum\, the Korean government should expand its international collaboration efforts as there is clear evidence of the importance of international collaboration to low-carbon technology change in areas of reduced technological capability.

SUMMARY:Climate change\, inequality\, and wealth transfer: A case study of Uganda
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe study the impact of climate change on inequality dynamics in an overlapping generation model\, where we consider the skill levels of labor and intergenerational wealth transfer. The model captures the dynamics of the increasing wealth inequality. We find that climate change reduces the total wealth created in the society while it increases the gap between the top-income and bottom-income groups. Furthermore\, the poorest part of the society is affected more while the richest part is more adaptive to the impacts of climate change. We calibrate our model for a case of a developing country (Uganda) and show that under severe climate change projections\, wealth inequality between the richest and the poorest groups can increase by up to 80% by the end of the century.

SUMMARY:Optimal Global Cost-Benefit Analysis — Policies that save lives
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nClimate change and air pollution (AP) are two major environmental problems. The interaction between them\, calls for complex frameworks that can support decision makers. We propose a comprehensive optimal modelling framework that internalizes the impacts of AP on human mortality and crops under a climate target\, taking into account the temperature increases due to air pollution policies and allowing for optimal end-of-pipe and technology sifts investment in the different energy sectors. We found that the internalization of the air pollution impacts strongly reduces premature mortality. Moreover action of air pollution alleviates the climate mitigation costs\, in terms of total welfare. \nLara Aleluia Reis\, Laurent Drouet\, Massimo Tavoni

SUMMARY:Distributional implications of climate change impacts on energy demand for Italian households
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe paper evaluates the distributional implications on Italian households of energy demand shocks induced by future global warming. We describe the direct impacts as well as the higher-order effects induced by general equilibrium adjustments in prices. Results show that climate change impacts on energy demand are regressive. While expenditure for heating fuels declines the most among poor people (progressive)\, electricity expenditure goes up relatively more within the first deciles of the expenditure distribution (regressive). The number of energy poors\, as well as the intensity of energy poverty\, goes down\, the more so with higher-order adjustments\, combining a reduction in heating fuel poors and poverty intensity with an increase in electricity poors and poverty severity\, and masking significant regional heterogeneity

SUMMARY:Threshold Policy Effects and Directed Technical Change in Energy Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThis paper analyzes the effect of environmental policies on the direction of energy innovation across a sample of 34 countries over the period 1990-2012. Our novelty is to use threshold regression models to allow for discontinuities in policy effectiveness depending on a country’s relative competencies in renewable and fossil fuel technologies\, respectively. We show that the dynamic incentives of environmental policies become effective just above the median level of relative competencies. In this critical second regime\, market-based policies are moderately effective in promoting renewable innovation\, while command-and-control policies depress fossil based innovation. Finally\, market-based policies are more effective to consolidate a green comparative advantage in the last regime. We illustrate how our approach can be used for policy design in laggard countries.

SUMMARY:Technology Transfer and Innovation for Low-Carbon Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nContaining global warming to 1.5 degrees is technically feasible with existing low-carbon technology—but only if it is deployed on a massive scale to developing countries\, according to this World Bank Group publication.\nTechnology Transfer and Innovation for Low-Carbon Development observes that the cost of low-carbon technology (LCT) is decreasing while investment\, trade\, and innovation in this sector are on the\nrise. But the benefits of that progress have largely eluded the world’s poorest countries\, which play a minuscule role in low-carbon technology markets as buyers\, sellers or innovators—despite being the most vulnerable to extreme weather events\, flooding\, damage to infrastructure\, and habitat loss. \nGlobal transfer and deployment of LCT from developed to developing economies is a necessity—but also an opportunity\, according to the report. Actions that promote LCT absorption\, use and production—such\nas investments in human capital\, infrastructure and firms—also benefit entire economies. These investments can increase a country’s competitiveness\, output\, and employment while producing other\nbenefits that improve the lives of citizens. \nSpeakers: Miria A.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar on “Meeting well-below 2°C target would increase energy sector jobs”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nOver 12 million people work in the coal\, oil and natural gas industries today. However\, to keep global warming well below 2°C\, a target enshrined in the Paris climate agreement\, all three fossil fuels need to dramatically decline and be replaced by low carbon energy sources. While this is technically possible\, whether it can be done fast enough is a political question. One major factor influencing political support for climate policies\, particularly in fossil fuel producing countries\, is the impact they have on fossil fuel jobs. Here we show that stringent climate policies consistent with keeping warming well below 2°C would increase global energy sector jobs from 18 million to 26 million in 2050. Moreover\, while fossil fuel jobs\, particularly extraction jobs\, would rapidly decline\, these losses would be more than compensated by gains in solar and wind jobs. A large portion (8.7 million in 2050) of the growth in solar and wind jobs would be in manufacturing jobs which are not geographically-bound\, and which could lead to competition between countries to attract these jobs. Regionally\, the Middle East and North Africa\, and the US could witness a substantial increase in overall energy jobs with renewable energy expansion\, but China may see a decrease with a decline of the coal sector. \nTitle: Meeting well-below 2°C target would increase energy sector jobs\nSpeaker: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Euro-Mediterranean Center of Climate Change\, Italy\nDiscussant: Zoi Vrontisi\, E3Modeling and Greek National Center for the Environment and Sustainable Development\nModerator: Massimo Tavoni\, Politecnico di Milano and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Euro-Mediterranean Center of Climate Change\, Italy

SUMMARY:NAVIGATE (online) Stakeholder Workshop (by invitation only)
DESCRIPTION:ROBUSTNESS AND LEGITIMACY OF MODELS FOR CLIMATE POLICY ASSESSMENT\nThis NAVIGATE workshop is organised by the University of Geneva and brings together three groups of participants: (i) stakeholders from national and international climate policy domains\, business\, and civil society organizations\, (ii) scholars from various disciplines that are relevant to climate policy\, and (iii) NAVIGATE consortium members. The workshop aims to benefit all participants by initiating a multi-stakeholder multi-disciplinary dialogue on a common theme of interest and in this way also inform the design of the NAVIGATE research activities.\nThe first NAVIGATE workshop focuses on the critical issues of robustness and legitimacy of models for climate policy assessment. Robustness refers to the analytical and technical adequacy of the models as well as the validity of modeling results given deep uncertainties and limits to state-of-the-art knowledge. Legitimacy encompasses transparency\, traceability and accessibility of the modeling itself as well as the design of participatory processes at the modeling-policy interface.\nAlthough often discussed in the last decade\, robustness and legitimacy of models face new challenges today because\, as in the case of NAVIGATE\, the models need to account for increasingly richer structural\, regional and distributional information as well as for transformative change in social\, technological and economic systems.\nThe aim of the workshop is to enable the participants to share their experiences and to reflect on the good-practice examples\, expectations\, and remaining challenges for robustness and legitimacy of models for climate policy assessment. Specifically\, these questions will be addressed: \nWhat defines robust models\, modeling results\, and climate policy recommendations?\nBy what means can this robustness be assessed\, ensured\, documented\, and communicated?\nWhat models need in order to be legitimate tools to inform climate policy? \nThe workshop will combine big-picture discussions on the topics of robustness and legitimacy with the case study analysis on the emissions gap: that is\, on the consistency of the current pathways of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) until 2030 and the 1.5°C target without or with low overshoot.

SUMMARY:NAVIGATE Partners Meeting  (closed event)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe second NAVIGATE partner meeting takes place in remote due to the COVID global emergency.NAVIGATE is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme and carried out by a consortium of 15 European organisations and two others BRIC countries organizations (Brazil and China). It aims to develop the Next generation of AdVanced InteGrated Assessment modelling to support climaTE policy making. It will critically improve the capability of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) to inform the design and evaluation of climate policies by targeting major advancements in two areas: describing transformative change in the economy\, in technology and in consumer goods and services\, and describing distributional impacts of climate change and climate policy.\nIn work packages 2-5 the partners focus on further developing the models to represent structural change in the economy and technological change\, lifestyle changes\, spatial and social heterogeneity and avoided climate change impacts\, and the co-benefits and trade-offs with other sustainable development goals. In work packages 1 and 6\, the partners aim to increase the usability\, transparency\, legitimacy and hence uptake of IAM results by key user groups. \nAt the core of framing these work packages is the stakeholder dialogue. It is structured around three user panels from the climate policy domain\, businesses and civil society organizations and also includes stakeholders from expert communities that relate to IAM work. Those stakeholders are involved in the project to elicit user needs and perceived hurdles for greater uptake and use of IAMs and give feedback on the research and IAM development work in the other work packages. \nTo know more about NAVIGATE project\, visit the website: https://navigate-h2020.eu/

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinars – THE IMPACTS OF COVID MEASURES ON THE POWER SECTOR OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe COVID crisis has led to a drop in electricity demand and generation. The study used the hourly load data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) to examine how the power system has responded in Italy\, France\, Spain\, Germany\, and UK\, both on the demand side and supply side. Preliminary results provide insights on the impact of COVID policies on the profile of aggregate electricity demand\, as well as on the generation mix and the carbon intensity of the power sector. The analysis shows that the COVID crisis has led to a drop in electricity load\, generation\, and CO2 emissions. Inspection of hourly data on weekday electricity generation by technology reveals that the ongoing demand-side shock has deepened the decarbonization\, further contributing to emission reduction. \nSpeaker: Francesco Pietro Colelli\, Ca’ Foscari University Venice\, Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change Foundation (CMCC)\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\nModerator: Enrica De Cian\, Ca’ Foscari University Venice\, Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change Foundation (CMCC)\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) \nAcknowledgments\nThis research has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 756194 (ENERGYA).

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar on  “Does information on energy costs lead to low efficiency purchases?”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe research team conducted a large-scale fieldexperiment with an online retailer to evaluate the impact of energy costinformation on purchasing decisions of large household appliances. Results showthat drawing attention to energy costs leads to less efficient purchases -especially when providing lifetime energy costs. Search and navigation data onthe retailer’s website confirm that the treatments increase attention paid toinefficient products. This is consistent with customers over-estimating energysavings from high-efficiency products. Results have implications for designinginformation campaigns aimed at promoting energy efficiency. \nSpeaker: Giovanna d’Adda\, University of Milan\, Fondazione Pesenti and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy\nModerator: Cristina Cattaneo\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy
