EFECT – European Forum for Energy and Climate Transition

The European Forum for Energy and Climate Transition (EFECT) brings together European expertise in energy and climate modelling. EFECT was established in 2021 and our members include leading European universities and research institutions working in energy and climate modelling, as well as relevant stakeholders. GOAL EFECT aims to contribute to

GOAL
EFECT aims to contribute to modelling exercises with the goal of better understanding the ground-breaking energy and climate transition in Europe. We want to explore different pathways for the transition, taking into account its multiple dimensions, such as technological, environmental, economic, social, political, ethical, etc. By contributing to model development and enhancement of analysis tools at national, regional and European level, EFECT will provide support to European energy and climate policy analysis, as well as corporate decision making. Key features of EFECT are the focus on open and transparent modelling processes and the development of tools open for use by all stakeholders. This will facilitate increased interaction between modellers and stakeholder groups and contribute to a more robust energy and climate modelling capacity in Europe.

Multiple pathways towards sustainable development goals and climate targets

30 November 2024

The study presents three different sustainable development pathways, all of which avoid dangerous climate change and enable substantial progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The scenarios were quantified by four different modelling teams participating in the SHAPE project, comprising two “full-system” integrated assessment models (REMIND-MAgPIE and IMAGE) and
