After 3.5 very productive and scientifically exciting years, in which we worked with thousands of stakeholders to co-create modelled pathways for supporting climate action in Europe and worldwide, the PARIS REINFORCE research project came to an end, on November 30, 2022.
PARIS REINFORCE held its final conference at Sorbonne, on November 15!
After 3.5 exciting years, the PARIS REINFORCE project is coming to an end. Our final event was held in Paris, France, on November 15, 2022, at the Salle Louis Liard de la Sorbonne, in collaboration with Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the World Energy Council – France.
Climate Change, Energy Crisis, and Greece's Net-Zero Transition
PARIS REINFORCE and the Hellenic Society for the Environment and Culture co-organised a national conference on "Climate change, the Energy Crisis and Greece's Net-Zero Transition", on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, at the Acropolis Museum.
Industrial transition in the EU and the UK: a stakeholder workshop in London
On October 7, 2022, we hosted a hybrid stakeholder workshop at the premises of the Grantham Institute, Imperial College London, to discuss and refine the results from the modelling and case study work on low-carbon pathways for the UK and the EU, together with a diversity of UK stakeholders.
ECEMP 2022 - Acting on the ambitions to a net-zero EU
PARIS REINFORCE was among the ten H2020 research projects behind the organisation of this year's European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform (ECEMP), revolving around "ambitions to a net-zero EU: roadblocks, challenges, and opportunities", hosted online, on October 5-7, 2022.
Emissions & employment trade-offs from COVID-19 green recovery spending
On 16 September 2022, a new project study was published in One Earth evaluating optimal cleantech COVID-19 recovery packages in six major economies (Canada, China, EU, India, Japan, USA), by quantifying the extent to which recovery packages can create energy-sector employment and further reduce emissions.
Letting it all out! PARIS REINFORCE at the Petrocultures 2022 conference in Norway
Alevgul Sorman and Esther Galende-Sanchez (BC3) took part in the Petrocultures 2022 conference in Stavanger, Norway and presented their findings from a deliberative dialogue conducted in Spain on how behavioural and emotional drivers can lock us into petroleum-intensive mobility and consumption patterns or move us forward.
Bottlenecks to decarbonising German energy-intensive industries
PARIS REINFORCE hosted a stakeholder workshop in Berlin, on 8 July 2022, to discuss and refine the project’s modelling results on low-carbon pathways for Germany. Based on this feedback, the workshop aimed to identify bottlenecks hampering the decarbonisation pathways and to co-create elements of a transformative policy mix that could overcome those bottlenecks.
Challenges and progress towards SDG7 in Italy, in the light of today’s energy crisis
The project held a stakeholder workshop in Venice, Italy, on July 5, 2022, at the premises of the Ca’ Foscari University. The aim of the workshop was to elicit experts’ tacit knowledge, views, and perceptions of Italy’s challenges and opportunities emerging from the current energy crisis towards net-zero and progress in SDG7.
Pathways to climate neutrality in Europe with a spotlight in Greece
The PARIS REINFORCE project hosted a stakeholder workshop in Athens, on 30 June 2022, to discuss and refine the project’s modelling results on low-carbon pathways for Greece, with Greek stakeholders from the public and private sector as well as academia.
