Do you want to know about the next generation of integrated assessment models (IAMs) to support an accelerated transition towards sustainable climate neutrality❓ ➡️ Visit the DIAMOND's website, which is already up & running: climate-diamond.eu #climatediamond

First results from the #JUSTEM "region to region" workshop. Most participants from coal-dependent regions in the EU stress that citizens have not been sufficiently involved in the preparation of the Just Transition Plans.

📢 Day 1 of the #climatediamond’s General Assembly. 📌 During this first part of our 2-day project meeting in #Bilbao, #Spain, kindly hosted by our partners over at BC3 - Basque Centre for Climate Change , we discussed progress so far and next steps across all project components.

1/ Over the last weeks, we have news coming in from the #WMO and the UK´s Met office saying the 1.5ºC threshold will be breached in the next 5 years (50-66% certainty).. Pretty depressing, but hopefully our new paper can cautiously cheer things up a bit.. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Check out our🆕Nature Climate Change Study: - Staving off a 2C future is still doable. - While the focus on further ambition ratcheting should not be lost, the implementation of the existing set of ambitions is currently the most pressing need. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4155…

📣New paper: "We compare expert and IAM modellers' perceptions on SDG interactions in light of recent crises." - Notable differences in the two groups - Current model capabilities constrain expectations (hints at model development DIAMOND) authors.elsevier.com/a/1hCp73QCo9i%…

📢Day 2 of the #IAMC2023 conference in Venice 📌DIAMOND colleague Dirk-Jan van de Ven is presenting our key project study “A multi-model analysis of the EU’s path to net zero” in the “National 4” session. #climatediamond

📢#IAMCOMPACT colleague Alexandros Nikas presenting research on differences and trade-offs between the three different directions in which the European Union could replace Russian natural gas.

Our EU path from 'Fit-for-55' to #netzero just in time for #COP28. Signposts for: 📉Key emissions targets ⚡️RES penetration (+ other technologies) 🏭 Coal phase-out 🌱BECCS 🔌Electrification Read more about the upcoming presentation of the study: climate-diamond.eu/diamond-side-e…

Happening right now: our side-event, with Ryna Cui moderating a discussion among Haris Doukas, @st_pye, and Alaa Al Khourdajie 🇪🇺, at #COP28 on the EU's road to net zero, key technologies, and the energy crisis. #climatediamond COP28 UAE

Reaching consensus in #energytransition with APOLLO-Live🚀 Specifically designed for the context of #justtransition plans, this #JUSTEM tool can be used in workshops to consider all opinions and achieve solutions that truly leave no one behind. To be launched soon. Stay tuned!

📢New📃out on Elsevier Energy📢 We looked at three ‘corner’ strategies to replacing Russian natural gas in the EU by 2025: (a) replacing with other gas imports, (b) ⬆️domestic energy production, and (c)🔻demand & accelerating energy efficiency doi.org/10.1016/j.ener…

How can we incorporate participatory processes into energy systems modelling to ensure fairer policy decisions reflecting people's concerns and preferences? Here’s a new paper with ‘how-to’ guidance drawing on reflections from a diverse range of experts. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New #climatediamond study in Communications Earth & Environment: EU climate policies improve energy-, carbon- and inequality-related #SDGs Net-zero emissions pathways further improve population, health and agricultural productivity. Read the open access study here: nature.com/articles/s4324…

📣Our work on the feasibility of implementing minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for existing buildings in Greece is now published in @elsevier's Energy Policy 🎊 doi.org/10.1016/j.enpo… 🧵

Are the #EU decarbonistion plans compatible with #SDGs progress? 🇪🇺🌱 Which SDGs will benefit and which will require additional corrective packages? Are these effects consistent across Member States?🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸 We looked at these questions in a Communications Earth & Environment paper. 🧵1/9
