On 1st May 2021 the €5 million, four-year project, the “European Climate and Energy Modelling Forum” was launched. The aim of the project is to establish a new European institution – the forum – to tackle the key challenge of our time – how to achieve climate neutrality. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (No 101022622). Institute of Environmental Protection – National Research Institute / KOBiZE / CAKE is part of the consortium and a co-beneficiary of the project.
The forum will bring together energy and climate researchers and policy makers working across Europe to build a coherent and robust policy-relevant evidence base to address climate neutrality.
With an exciting programme of stakeholder engagement, policy and research activities, the project will identify critical policy-relevant research questions that will then be addressed by the forum. An ambitious model comparison exercise involving the 20 models developed and maintained by the project members, together with those of newly recruited forum members, will form the core of a research programme which tackles the role of the demand and supply side, behaviour and the EU in the global policy context. The project will also develop novel open digital infrastructure to support the hosting, communication and discussion of scenarios, models, assumptions and results.
The project kick-off meeting hosted over 50 participants from the 15 project partners as well as technical, communications and policy experts. Two members of the international advisory board, Prof. John Weyant of the Stanford Energy Modelling Forum, and Prof. Shinichiro Fujimori, Kyoto University shared their experience of the value of model comparison exercises and provided inspiration for the forum.
The ECEMF consortium is led by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and consists of 15 partners in total from 9 countries including CMCC, IIASA, PIK, TU Wien, e-think, TNO, Fraunhofer ISI, E3M, PBL, Artelys, Comillas, TU Delft, University of Melbourne and IOŚ-PIB.
The role of IOŚ-PIB/KOBiZE/CAKE in the ECEMF project include work in the 2 working packages:
– Involvement in developing scenarios and conducting analysis
-Use and update of MEESA model
-Involvement in developing and implementing a detailed communication plan and build a stakeholder network
-Workshops – including one meeting with Polish Goverment.

You are kindly welcome to take the survey, that contributes to the most adequate adaptation of IOŚ-PIB/KOBiZE/CAKE activities under the LIFE VIIEW 2050 project to stakeholders’ expectations („The impact assessment of the EU Emission Trading System with the long-term vision for a climate neutral economy by 2050” – LIFE VIIEW 2050 – LIFE19 GIC/PL/001205″).

On the 4th March 2021, the first meeting of the Advisory Board took place. The meeting was held online. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Advisory Board and representatives of the LIFE VIIEW 2050 project.
LIFE VIIEW 2050 Advisory Board memebers:
The meeting was moderated by Robert Jeszke, LIFE VIIEW Project Coordinator. Following introductions of the Advisory Board and the Project Team members, Robert briefly explained modus operandi of the Advisory Board and the expected support to the LIFE VIIEW 2050 Project Team.
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.

LIFE VIIEW 2050 LEAFLET (2.2 MiB, 678 hits)
National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE/IOŚ-PIB) has been accepted and registered as a member of the Paris Committee on Capacity-building Network (PCCB Network). The Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB) was established at COP 21 in 2015 and performs its activities under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Committee addresses current and emerging gaps and needs in implementing and further enhancing capacity-building in developing countries. Since 2019 the PCCB has been serving also the Paris Agreement.
PCCB fosters collaboration between actors at all levels (local, national, regional and global), strengthening networks and partnerships to enhance synergies and promote knowledge and experience sharing. PCCB Network is an association and the platform for all those willing to contribute to capacity-building for climate policy implementation and share information on good practices in their work activity. The goal of the PCCB Network is to foster synergies and enhance coherence and coordination in capacity-building efforts for climate action. Activities of the PCCB Network align with the PCCB’s work areas:
Besides the core activities carried out under the PCCB Network, members are encouraged to propose additional activities they would like to see implemented under the umbrella of the PCCB Network, including:
In addition, all Network members receive periodic newsletters including a calendar of capacity-building events, and information on current and upcoming activities undertaken by Network members. Members have the opportunity to take part in the exchange of expert knowledge and advice with the PCCB and other Network members and are provided with an exclusive space for networking at the UN Climate Change Conferences in Bonn and UNFCCC COPs.
KOBiZE experts have already actively participated in activities organized by PCCB during the Conference of Parties in Katowice (COP 24) and in Madrid (COP 25), where the LIFE Climate CAKE PL project and its results were presented (actually, the CAKE was the co-organizer of event under the PCCB Hub in Madrid). Ms. Marzena Chodor, an expert in the KOBiZE/IOŚ-PIB, holds the position of PCCB Co-chair.
Besides our contribution to the PCCB activities, the participation of CAKE / KOBiZE / IOŚ-PIB in the PCCB Network increases the possibility of reaching out a much wider, international audience with the outcomes of our activities, including the projects being implemented. As of today, 235 members joined the PCCB Network, including research centres, governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions, and other international initiatives.
