MIADAC

Modeling Sectoral Climate Change Policies: Mitigation, Adaptation, and Acceptance

---

 

PROJECT AND MISSION

In the first phase of NCCR climate, the precursor of this project developed modelling tools (e.g. our CGE model GEMINI-E3) specifically designed to assess climate change policies at global, regional, and national (Swiss) levels.

The second phase of MIADAC (see its description here) have consolidated and extended the first period achievements in the following tasks:

1. Developing and assessing Post-Kyoto scenarios (see further)
   
   
2. Modelling mitigation policies in transportation and housing for Switzerland (see further)
    
3. Assessing climate impacts and adaptation options in Switzerland:the cases of winter tourism (see further)

CURRENT ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS

For the third phase of the project (see its description here), we focus on the following research areas:

1. Evolution of international climate policy (see further)
    
2. Interaction of international trade and climate policy (see further)
   
   
3. Economic impacts of climate change and adaptation measures in Switzerland (see further)
