Modelling tools for EU analysis

A key part of the scenario modelling is the regular production of updated EU and Member State GHG emission reference scenarios under current trends and policies, in consultation with Member State experts. Policy scenario results provide analytical information to support the analysis of environmental, economic and social impacts, e.g. cost-effectiveness analysis and other complex analyses involving multiple objectives.

The model suite currently used has a successful record of use in the Commission's climate policy impact assessments – e.g. for the 2030 climate and energy policy framework.
