This infographic summarises the critical role of stakeholders throughout the PARIS REINFORCE project, emphasising its truly co-creative nature. Thousands of stakeholders were involved in the project, be that in the form of online surveys or with a more active role in stakeholder workshops. Insights from stakeholders were used to co-design scenario frameworks, co-produce mitigation pathways, and/or co-create transformative policy strategies.

This infographic sets out to explain how socioeconomic variables are represented in climate-economy and energy quantitative system models. It also illustrates how each socioeconomic variable is represented in the PARIS REINFORCE modelling suite.

To view how different socioeconomic dimensions, policies, mitigation and adaptation technologies, greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, economic sectors, and Sustainable Development Goals are represented in each of the models, please visit the I²AM PARIS platform dynamic documentation, here.

This infographic builds upon the Multi-Level Perspective framework and further focuses on the phase-out of the dominant fossil fuel in the Greek electricity mix, rather than solely exploring the phase-in of new technologies. By delving into the landscape that established lignite as the mainstream energy resource in Greece, as well as the factors sustaining its dominance despite niche technologies and innovations challenging the regime, it discusses how the envisaged decarbonisation can be socially just and effective across multiple sustainability dimensions.

This infographic, based on the Sectoral Innovation Systems approach, attempts to identify the elements enabling Norway to become one of the leaders in the diffusion of electric vehicles. By utilising the System Failure framework, bottlenecks hindering the decarbonisation of the transport system are identified. Results indicate that the effectiveness of Norway’s policy is exaggerated and has led to recent spillover effects towards green shipping. Insights into the effectiveness of previously implemented policies and the evolution of the sectoral system can help draw lessons towards sustainable transport.

This infographic, based on the Sectoral Innovation Systems approach, attempts to identify the factors pacing down progress in the diffusion of electric vehicles in Canada. By utilising the System Failure framework, bottlenecks hindering the decarbonisation of the transport system are identified. The activity of oil companies, regional and federal legislative disputes in Canada and the lack of sincere efforts from system actors to address challenges lead to non-drastic greenhouse gas emission reductions, despite significant policy efforts. Insights into the effectiveness of previously implemented policies and the evolution of the sectoral system can help draw lessons towards sustainable transport.

This infographic reviews the energy-intensive iron and steel, cement and chemicals industries of the United Kingdom, a major emitting country with significant activity. Based on the Sectoral Innovation Systems and the Systems Failure framework, it aims to capture existing and potential drivers of or barriers to diffusion of sustainable industrial technologies and extract implications for policy. Results indicate that actor structures and inconsistent policies have limited low-carbon innovation. A key to UK industrial decarbonisation is to drive innovation and investment in the context of an industry in decline and in light of Brexit-related uncertainty.

This infographic reviews the transport sector of Brazil and the emergence of biodiesel. Using the MLP and TIS frameworks, it sheds light on the historical evolution of the dominant regime of the Brazilian transport sector and helps understand how the dependency of fossil fuels was shaped in line with continuous pressures from oil, economic, and institutional crises from the landscape. It also highlights the emergence of the biodiesel technological system, its interactions with other technologies, and the progress that allowed it to break through from a niche and become part of the regime.

This infographic reviews the transport sector of Argentina and the emergence of biodiesel. Using the MLP and TIS frameworks, it sheds light on the historical evolution of the dominant regime of the Argentinian transport sector and helps understand how the dependency of fossil fuels was shaped in line with continuous pressures from oil, economic, and institutional crises from the landscape. It also highlights the emergence of the biodiesel technological system, its interactions with other technologies, and the progress that allowed it to break through from a niche and become part of the regime.
