Delivering on the Paris Agreement in a fragmenting world

PARIS REINFORCE is a European research project, funded by the European Commission's H2020 program. In connection with the actors of the climate transition, PARIS REINFORCE aims to develop new integrated models to help design and evaluate climate policies and commitments in many regions of the world. Coordinated by Professor Haris Doukas of the National Polytechnic University of Athens (NTUA), PARIS REINFORCE is composed of 17 partners around the world and is supported in France by SEURECO-ERASME, a research team specialized in quantitative economic analysis.

The objective of the conference is to communicate the main results related to climate policy making based on robust analytical processes at the global, European, regional and sectoral levels. This event will bring together academics and representatives from the private sector, public institutions and civil society to share their knowledge on climate transitions.
