This introduction was followed with a more detailed presentation by Marta Rosłaniec on LIFE VIIEW 2050 scope, the role, and expected input from the Advisory Board. The project is expected to provide scenarios supporting policies and measures leading to decarbonisation in 2050, focusing on both, EU ETS and non-ETS and offering a broader International perspective. To this end, several modelling tools will be used to validate various combinations of the proposed measures to achieve the 2050 goal, with interim goals in 2030 and later.

Later, there was a discussion on scenarios and options on the way forward for the Project.
