Transitions Pathways and Risk Analysis for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaption Strategies (2015-2018)
Summary
The TRANSrisk project (2015-2018) focuses on assessing low-emission transition pathways by integrating quantitative models with qualitative stakeholder consultations. The project seeks to transform how climate policy pathways are evaluated by analyzing synergies and conflicts with other sustainable development goals, examining innovation policies across different socio-technical contexts, and assessing the risks and uncertainties associated with policy implementation. Its primary goals include providing decision-makers with tools to evaluate socio-economic costs and benefits and contributing to international scientific assessments like the IPCC.
Key insights
- TRANSrisk aims to evaluate low-emission transition pathways that are technically, economically, socially, and environmentally feasible by combining quantitative models with qualitative stakeholder consultations.
- The project focuses on four key areas: using stakeholder engagement to guide modelling, exploring synergies and conflicts between energy pathways and other sustainable development goals (such as water and land use), analyzing the role of multiple actors in innovation policies, and assessing the risks and public perceptions of climate policies.
- The project intends to provide new insights on mitigation pathways through 15 case studies located in the EU and in Canada, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, and Kenya.
- A core objective of TRANSrisk is to create a novel assessment framework and decision support tool where risk is central to policy design rather than being treated as a post-analysis sensitivity check.
