Tool-supported policy-development for regional adaptation (TOPDAD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Adaptation in the face of climate change is currently a major challenge, not only in the EU, but all around the world. Climate change has two distinct characters: the slower trends in climatic variables such as sea water temperatur, and the extreme weather phenomena, such as heavy precipitation. The fundamental driver for regional adaptation are regional climate scenarios. Crucial for local societ ...

Models for Optimising Dynamic Urban Mobility (MODUM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Transport congestion problems contribute ~70% of pollutants to urban environments. The transport sector by itself consumes up to ~30% of the total energy in the EU. These figures suggest that if Europe is to reduce its CO2 emissions by making an efficient use of energy while improving the quality of life in European cities, novel approaches for the optimal management of urban transport complexity ...

Spatial-economic-ecological model for the assessment of sustainability policies of Russia (SUST-RUS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"The objective of the study is to develop and implement for Russia an integrated spatial-economic-ecological modelling approach, which represents the state-of-the-art in different areas of economic, transport, resource-use and environmental modelling, and can be used to assist policy makers in their choice of medium and long-term sustainability policies. This implies the following interrelated a ...

Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions of transport beyond 2020: linking R&D, transport policies and reduction targets (GHG-TransPoRD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"In early 2007 the EU adopted the objective to limit climate change to 2 degrees Celsius. More specific, the European leaders defined a target to reduce greenhouse gases by at least -20% until 2020, or -30% if an international agreement is achieved, compared with the emission levels of 1990. Until 2050 the reductions of the EU emissions should reach -60 to -80%. Transport currently contributes abo ...
