CAKE in the SPARCCLE project
We are pleased to announce that the Centre for Climate and Energy Analysis (CAKE), KOBIZE, IOŚ-PIB is one of the beneficiaries in the SPARCCLE project – ‘Socioeconomic Pathways, Adaptation and Resilience to a Changing CLimate in Europe’ funded by Horizon EU, Swiss Confederation and UK Research & Innovation.
As part of the #PartnerSpotlight promotion series, the Centre for Climate and Energy Analysis (CAKE), a specialised analytical centre within the National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE) at the Institute of Environmental Protection- National Research Institute (IOŚ-PIB), was presented. CAKE is a team of experts developing and implementing state-of-the-art analytical tools, networks and communication channels. At the core of CAKE is the provision of practical knowledge to enhance decision-making. With extensive experience in climate and energy analysis , CAKE experts monitor both EU and Polish climate policy.
The SPARCCLE project will develop and implement new scientific methodologies in the areas of climate impacts and integrated assessment of socio-economic risks associated with climate change. The research will take into account opportunities for synergies and the need to develop trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation at both EU and global levels. The methodology will also take into account cross-sectoral linkages and spillover effects. The project will develop a series of analytical tools (primarily numerical models) capable of investigating, quantifying and informing the transformations that will create a climate-resilient economy in the long term.
The main objectives of the SPARCCLE project:
- Development of quantitative methods for assessing climate hazards, damages and risks
- Deliver detailed projections of how society develops, improving understanding of vulnerability to climate change
- Understanding how climate mitigation and adaptation measures can work together or against each other
- Co-creation with public and private stakeholders so that project outputs can inform decision-making
- Explore stress-test scenarios to help Europe prepare for plausible, high-impact socioeconomic climate risks
- The principal task of the CAKE team in the SPARCCLE project is to incorporate the impact of climate change into the macroeconomic model. Utilising data from scientific literature as well as data and information provided by other consortium members, the team will prepare simulations that will indicate the influence of climate change on the economy in selected regions of the world, including changes in the labour market (employment, wages, and flows of workers between sectors).
- Partners in the SPARCCLE consortium :
Twelve organisations are involved in the SPARCCLE project as part of a consortium to implement the project, one of which is the Institute for Environmental Protection – National Research Institute (IOŚ-PIB/CAKE-KOBiZE) and eleven other European institutions International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Fondazione Centro Euro – Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC), Climate Analytics (CA), Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), E3-Modelling (E3M), Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat (PBL), Università degli Studi di Firenze (UNIFI), Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zürich), Joint Research Centre – European Commission (JRC), Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (Imperial).
