PARIS REINFORCE
| Delivering on the Paris Agreement: A Demand-Driven Integrated Assessment Modelling Approach |
 |
|
|
PARIS REINFORCE aims to underpin climate policymaking with robust scientific processes and results, and enhance the science-policy interface, in light of the Paris Agreement and associated challenges. In particular, our aim is to develop a novel, demand-driven, IAM-oriented assessment framework for effectively supporting the design and assessment of climate policies in the EU as well as in other major emitters and selected less emitting/developed countries, with respect to the Paris Agreement objectives. |

|
The novelty of the PARIS REINFORCE stems from an exhaustive and facilitative stakeholder dialogue coupled with a strong ensemble of complementary Integrated Assessment and energy Models in order to co-design, assess and support climate policies faced upon the challenges of a post Paris agenda. The models to be used vary —in terms of mathematical structure, geographical, sectoral and focus coverage— covering integrated assessment, energy system and sectoral models and will be brought together on an open-access and transparent data exchange platform, I2AM PARIS, in order to support the effective implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the preparation of future action pledges, the reinforcement of the 2023 Global Stocktake (GST) and the development of 2050 decarbonisation and carbon neutrality strategies. We also seek to enhance the legitimacy of the scientific processes in support of climate policymaking, via the innovative stakeholder inclusion framework for improving the transparency of the employed models, methods and tools. We actively involve policymakers and other stakeholder groups in all stages: from the formulation of policy questions and the definition of modelling assumptions in a demand-driven approach; to the design of I2AM PARIS interfaces and specifications, for mobilizing tacit knowledge with the broader objective of bridging knowledge gaps for reinforcing the objectives of the Paris Agreement. |
