He oversaw the overall governance incl. monitoring progress of climate action in the EU, regulating greenhouse gas emissions from non-ETS sectors including buildings, road transport including decarbonising fuels, land use, land use change and forestry, waste, carbon capture, use and storage as well as supporting innovation and modernisation in the EU’s energy and industrial sectors, e.g. setting up the Innovation and Modernisation Fund. He served on the Board and Bureau of the European Environment Agency and the Steering Board of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) at the European Investment Bank. Until the conclusion of the Paris agreement in 2015, he led on international climate negotiations and climate strategy for the European Union.

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.
More information about the project you can find at the website ECEMF & Twitter: @ECEMF_2020
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.
