CDC Climat Research provides independent expertise on economic issues related to climate change policies. Its objective is to help public and private decision makers understand, anticipate and facilitate the implementation of the economic and financial instruments for managing the transition to a low-carbon economy and fostering adaptation to changes in the global climate.
Energies & Carbon Markets
Impacts of European and national energy policies: renewable and low-carbon energies, energy efficiency policies. EU ETS: price drivers, auctions, regulation. Climate policies beyond Europe: economic instruments and coordination with energy policies. Competitiveness and price of CO2: benchmarks, distributional impacts of climate policies.Offsets, Agriculture & Forestry
Offsets: Clean Development Mechanism, Joint Implementation, other regulated offsets, voluntary carbon markets Agriculture and Forestry: climate-change related economic tools for agriculture, forestry and biomass. Monitoring, Reporting & Verification of GHG emissions New market-based mechanisms: NAMAs, sectoral crediting.Sub-national Climate Policies
Adaptation to climate change by cities, local governments and for local projects. Sub-national policies for climate, renewable energy and energy efficiency. Financing mechanisms for local governments: use of carbon finance, other carbon- or energy-related financing mechanisms. Climate, Investment & Decision Making
GHG inventories and emissions accounting for a project, a financial asset or a territory. Governance and integration of climate & energy criteria: decision-making, implementation, and investment evaluation.
