  5. TSE contribution in PACT Task 4.2.risks and governance in the transition process towards post carbon societiesObjectives : understanding the risks associated with the technologies and infrastructures deployed in post-carbon societies and the mechanisms of governance of these risks; feed-up chronology for related inputs for VLEEM and POLES models Rationale assess the risks and acceptability related to new urban / land-use schemes, new infrastructures and new technologies moving to a post-carbon society: scenario of high complexity and criticality, entire economic systems changed in favour of carbon free energy infrastructures Pathways for Carbon Transition (PACT) - Kick-off meeting

  6. Work content • Identification of major technologies and infrastructures: analysis of current technologies and future changes • Characterisation of risk and uncertainties related with future changes: main criticalities (stakeholder micro level and national/societal macro level) • Stakeholders’ identification and assessment: study of their perception of changes and future impacts (actors’ behaviour and risk acceptability) • Socio-economic analysis : evaluation of economic operators’ expectations related to the perceived risks and opportunities coming from the adoption of alternative urban models and road transport paradigms. Different scenarios for different stakeholders Pathways for Carbon Transition (PACT) - Kick-off meeting

  7. Work content • Modelling a risk governance process (joint integrated management) for giving a broader perspective of the whole scenario and accommodating different preferred policies towards a common goal with a clear determination of roles and responsibilities. • Methodological aspect: multi-criteria models, qualitative evaluation schemes, cost-effectiveness analysis, as well as by the use of frames of meaning for stakeholders assessment, Futures research methodologies (Scenarios, Delphi, etc.) Pathways for Carbon Transition (PACT) - Kick-off meeting
