Introducing DeepDCarb

‘DeepDCarb - Deep Decarbonisation: The Democratic Challenge of Navigating Governance Traps’ is a project that seeks to improve understanding of the ‘traps’ holding back society’s attempts at climate change mitigation and contribute to understanding the scope for unlocking the impasse in society’s struggle to deliver deep decarbonisation.

The project - which runs from 2021 until 2026 - was awarded €2.4 million of funding by the European Research Council (ERC) as part of €450 million of new funding for Europe’s most innovative research in physical sciences and engineering, life sciences, and social sciences and humanities. Only 185 scientists across all EU member states and countries have won funding as part of the 2020 Advanced Grant competition.
