Funded by: European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme

General Aims:
GEMCLIME project focuses on major aspects of energy economics and climate change, which is a prime example of an important global and complex scientific and policy problem. GEMCLIME covers the drivers of climate change, the examination of climate change and energy-related risks and vulnerabilities, the valuation of economic impacts of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies, and the investigation of major policy responses to global climate and energy challenges. GEMCLIME follows an integrated approach to modelling the impacts of climate and energy policies. The analysis of drivers, impacts, and responses to climate change attributes particular attention to the economics of renewable energies and the valuation of non-marketed goods. While GEMCLIME is focused on fundamental economic research, the results also provide support to evidence-based policy.

GEMCLIME aims at supporting research mobility between the EU on one side, and the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, and Chile on the other side.

CMCC role
CMCC is one of the project partners and is involved in particular in the following work-packages:

• WP1 – Drivers – behavioural research, Task 1: Consumer behaviour and heterogeneity
• WP2 – Drivers – Non-competitive markets on advanced low-carbon technologies, Task 3: Modelling energy markets in partial equilibrium frameworks and investigating strategic interactions
• WP3 – Impacts – modelling mitigation and adaptation effects and policies, Task 4: Non-renewable energy markets
• WP4 – Impacts – modelling interconnections, benefits, externalities, Task 2: Incorporating non-market effects into impact assessment models and Task 3: Model parameters
• WP5 – Response to climate and energy challenges – political economy, Task 2: International environmental negotiations
• WP6 – Response to climate and energy challenges – distribution and development, Task 3: Future generations and social justice

CMCC will participate with its researchers in the secondment and incoming program as foreseen by GEMCLIME

Activities
The members of the consortium share their skills and knowledge from the areas of climate change, energy, resource, health, environmental, and agricultural economics, while drawing on the expertise of participants in financial economics, applied macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics. The GEMCLIME consortium also includes researchers and academics from non-economic disciplines, including political scientists, sociologists, lawyers, environmental scientists, and other scientists related to climate and energy. The reciprocal transfer of knowledge between the members of the consortium is supported by a staff exchange including senior research fellows, professors, early-career academics, and doctoral students.

GEMCLIME aims at supporting research mobility between the EU on one side, and the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, and Chile on the other side.

Expected results
GEMCLIME focuses on the economics of energy and climate. It follows an integrated approach to modeling the impacts of climate and energy policies. To implement the research project, it coordinates the secondment of research staff for the transfers of knowledge and scientific networking between top-ranked research institutions in the world. Researchers from beneficiary institutions of the European Union are seconded to partner institutions in Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand South Africa, Singapore and the United States. In turn, researchers from beneficiary institutions in South Africa and Chile are seconded at partner institutions in the European Union.
