Knowledge brokering on emissions modelling in strategic environmental assessment of Estonian energy policy with special reference to the LEAP model

This research paper examines the role of knowledge brokering and quantitative emissions modelling, specifically the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) model, within the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process of a national energy plan in Estonia.

• The author argues that using quantitative computer models within a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) can help facilitate the exchange of knowledge between stakeholders, researchers, and policy developers who aim to use scientific data for policy decisions.
• The paper identifies a gap in existing literature regarding how knowledge brokerage activities are implemented throughout the complete cycles of SEAs that utilize quantitative models.
• The primary recommendation is that utilizing a quantitative model for both ex ante and ex post scenario modelling and impact assessment can support capacity-building for participants and create a systematic, inspiring process for exchanging knowledge on policy issues.
