II Capacity Building Workshop
Model Fingerprints​
​
Date and time: September 18, 2024 @1:00-3:00PM (CET)
​
The workshop was held online.
​
About the workshop:
Modelling future energy systems is a complex task. Not only is it associated with many uncertainties, there may also be multiple paths to the same goal. To explore different solutions and their uncertainties, model comparison is therefore of vital importance. The systematic behaviour and contextual characteristics of an energy model can be referred to as the model’s ‘fingerprint’. In a recent paper, Mark Dekker et al. present a framework assessing model behaviour in a set of diagnostic indicators, and explore the fingerprints of eight energy models. During the capacity building workshop, Mark introduced the framework and participants interactively explored the fingerprints of their own models themselves, focusing on a recently developed NDC scenario (for examples, the NDC scenario from ELEVATE Task 2.3 and COMMITTED Task 2.1).

I Capacity Building Workshop
Climate Policy Database and Modelling Protocol
​
Date and time: May 31st, 2023 @1:00-3:30PM (CET)
​
The workshop was held online.
​
About the workshop:
The Climate Policy Database is a collaborative effort to track policy planning and adoption and identify global and national policy coverage gaps. We identify, categorise and analyse mitigation-relevant policies to support national ambition raising efforts. The database is maintained by NewClimate Institute with support from PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and Wageningen University and Research. During ELEVATE, the database will be updated and expanded with additional countries, sectors, domains (e.g., SDGs, biodiversity, energy security) and “good practice policies”. In addition, important assumptions, including implemented policies (i.e., current policies) and NDCs, and how these can be integrated into models, will be secured in the Climate Policy Modelling Protocol. The aim of this ELEVATE Capacity Building Workshop is to present the Climate Policy Database and the Modelling Protocol in a user-friendly way, helping teams navigate their attributes and enhancing implementation capacity across models, building upon the effort made during previous Horizon projects.
