Tender for a study on behavioural climate change mitigation options and longer-term policy scenarios
The European Commission has issued a tender for a study on behavioural climate change mitigation options and their appropriate inclusion in quantitative longer-term policy scenarios. The aim of the study is to assess and demonstrate the potential of changes in behaviour and consumption patterns (e.g. broader spread of more healthy lower caloric or vegetarian diet, shift to smaller or less powerful cars or other mobility modes such as walking or cycling, adapted room temperatures). It should also analyse policy options for the further development of EU policies and measures, e.g. for the non-ETS sector in this field in line with increasing climate goals, in particular in the perspective of reaching -80 % to -95 % GHG emissions by 2050. For selected options and policy instruments, the work should include a conceptual exploration of linkages with other techno-economic variables and a first level quantification of the potentials in a way that it can be used by quantitative models run outside of this contract. The expected results are policy-oriented synthesis reports and scenario inputs specified in a way that they can be used in quantitative models operated within the Commission or under other contracts.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General for Climate Action CLIMA.SRD.2 - Finance attention: Markets Team, BU 5, 00/122 1049 Brussels Belgium E-mail: clima-tenders@ec.europa.eu To see the full details of the call, please consult: OJ No S119 of 22 June 2010(opens in new window)
