Do you need a quick overview of climate targets in the EU? Or have you wanted to find out about stakeholder perspectives on the EU Emissions Trading System? The Climate Policy Info Hub gives the answers and provides insights on consequences of possible climate policy directions.

The Climate Policy Info Hub is an online knowledge platform that offers evidence on climate policy options. It explores impacts and implications of international and EU climate policy for decision-makers in policy, business and civil society. The aim of the knowledge platform is to support and inform science-based EU climate policy-making.

The Climate Policy Info Hub provides information in the form of brief and clear but comprehensive knowledge packages on a range of issues (e.g. adaptation, renewable engery) and sectors (e.g. industry, transport) that are related to climate policy, and also provide the necessary background information. The platform also offers links to related upcoming events and a glossary.

The knowledge is compiled by a group of independent climate policy researchers. The Climate Policy Info Hub is the outcome of the EU-funded POLIMP project. Over the course of the project, additional knowledge packages will be added.

Ecologic Institute is responsible for the concept, design, programming and content production management of the Climate Policy Info Hub.

The Global Rise of Emissions Trading

Year 2016

Event:Conference

On 21 April 2016, the final conference of the EU-FP7 funded project “POLIMP” took place in Brussels. How can climate policies be designed, what impacts do they have and what other options are there? These are important questions to stakeholders and policy-makers. The project POLIMP aims at making answers to these issues more easily accessible and understandable. To this end, POLIMP examines knowledge gaps for different policy and decision making levels and covers these with the help of existing research results.

Year 2015

Event:Discussion

In advance of COP21, more than 170 countries have so far pledged to implement national climate actions, INDCs. While the Paris negotiations will decide the future framework for these INDCs, this event looked at means of supporting implementation of national contributions that already exist and could be strengthened. Specifically, the discussion focused on technology needs assessments (TNAs) and current climate finance flows.
