About the Research

The Paris global climate agreement was a landmark effort in the common cause to combat climate change, but more ambition is now required to strengthen the global response. Climate Policy Lab’s policy performance program aims to assist governments in how to evaluate the range of new policy reforms or new sectoral policy initiatives that have been tried or should be tried to bend the emissions curve, with an eye to promoting greater ambition for nationally determined commitments (NDCs) and underlying implementation strategies. Our methodology combines systems dynamics modeling and expert elicitation to identify policy pathways that will lead to deep decarbonization by mid-century, with a view to simultaneously stimulating economic growth and job creation.
