Much information is already available for climate policy stakeholders but the way the information is presented is often: difficult to access not in the right format of limited use for stakeholders.
The Challenge…

where knowledge gaps exist what future international climate policy directions
may look like and… what these imply for policy and decision makers
internationally and within the EU.
We aim at...
….Identifying
Identify knowledge gaps on the implications for EU stakeholders of possible directions of climate policy making.
Collect and synthesize knowledge of possible climate policy directions and their implications.
Support policy and decision makers in taking well informed decisions, thereby reducing uncertainties and mitigating the risk.
Project Objectives (1/2)
Project Objectives (2/2)
Facilitate communication among various research components and knowledge dissemination among various stakeholder groups.
Track down links between the outcome of the UNFCCC negotiations and EU-level and domestic policy actions in selected country-parties.

Dissemination Means
Results (1/2)
Creation of a thematic knowledge base on climate change mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer, finance and market mechanisms.
The knowledge collection and processing network will enhance the insights of policy and decision makers on possible courses of international climate policy making.
Results (2/2)
Reduction of the uncertainty of policy and decision makers and better understanding of the consequences of different policies and climate regimes.
Trust among policy and decision makers so that they can strengthen their efforts for implementation of the ‘Climate and Energy package (20/20/20 targets)’.
Knowledge needs…
Government officials: Refinement of arguments, Deepening the understanding of policy areas, Preparation for government statements
‘Useful information is by politicians not being recognized as relevant, since the debate is often not about the knowledge. It is a about political gains in the short term’
