Exploring National and Global Actions to reduce Greenhouse gas Emissions (ENGAGE )

Polimi role:

One of the key questions facing policymakers today is how to tackle climate change and mitigate the impacts of global warming. Scientists and economists developed integrated assessment models (IAMS) to find answers by combining different strands of knowledge – natural science, engineering and economics. The EU-funded ENGAGE project will invite key stakeholders to co-produce a new generation of global and national decarbonisation pathways. These will be designed to mitigate the risks of climate change to meet the Paris Agreement objectives and implement game-changing innovations. ENGAGE will also quantify the avoided impacts of climate change. The findings of this four-year project will benefit policymaking and inform the 2023 global stocktake, while feeding into the mid-century mitigation strategies for major emitters.
