This month, two new peer-reviewed papers were published from the DeepDCarb project.
The first of these 'The Challenging Paths to Net-Zero Emissions: Insights from the Monitoring of National Policy Mixes' features in a special issue of The International Spectator focusing on Europe’s transition to sustainability. Examining data from the last 10 years that member states have reported to the EU on the climate policies that they have or will put in place to achieve collectively agreed EU targets, the analysis reveals that the average expected per-policy-instrument emission reduction has declined, while national policy mixes have remained generally stable over time. ‘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. |
