ADaptation And Mitigation (ADAM)
Supporting European Climate Policy
Funded by: The European Commission
Duration: 2006-2009
The ADAM work programme is structured around four overarching domains: Scenarios, Policy Appraisal, Mitigation and Adaptation.
4CMR’s contribution to M1 was macro economic modelling, using the E3ME model (an energy-environment-economy model of Europe), including adaptation, ancillary benefits, impact on employment, competitiveness and foreign trade.
4CMR Reports for ADAM M1:
- E. Jochem (leader of Work Package M1); T. Barker and S. Scrieciu (E3ME model); W. Schade, N. Helfrich (ASTRA model); S Mima, P Criqui, J Morel, B Chateau, A Kitous (POLES model); G J Nabuurs, M J Schelhaas, T Groen, L Riffeser, F Reitze, E Jochem, G Catenazzi, M Jakob, B Aebischer, K Kartsoni, W Eichhammer, A Held, M Ragwitz, U Reiter, S Kypreos, H Turton (Bottom-Up Modelling) (2007) “Report of the Base Case Scenario for Europe and full description of the model system”, Deliverable D-M1.1 for the ADAM project; contributed with E3ME modelling results; E. Jochem M1 Work Package leader (Fraunhofer Institute of Systems and Innovation Research)
- Deliverable D-M1.3 for the ADAM project will hopefully be ready by end of June – we will be contributing with E3MG results to account for the economic recession.
4CMR’s contribution to M2 was macro economic modelling including adaptation, impact on employment, competitiveness and foreign trade. As part of the ADAM M2 research programme, a world macro-econometric model E3MG is being developed at 4CMR to investigate mitigation policies for climate change. E3MG was designed and built by Tyndall (Cambridge) in collaboration with Cambridge Econometrics.
