IHDP Objectives: Milestones and expected results Partners Industrial Transformation (IT) Project of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) IT Research Project “Carbon Flows between Eastern & Western Europe”* (CFEWE) Focus of IT: Energy and Material Flows Research Questions: • To what extent and in what way is climate change policy likely to affect the flow of energy and carbon resources between Eastern and Western Europe? • How will these policies and flows of carbon affect the investments in the energy sector and the forestry and biomass sector in Europe? • How will these various economies go through a transformation of the energy and forestry sector so that longer term climate policy goals are met, and how will these transformations affect one another? • What are the options of generating mutual benefits for both Eastern and Western European economies? To address physical flows, economic aspects of these flows and related policies To identify policies for mutual benefits for all European countries To help identify sustainable energy futures and add to a more efficient management of natural resources To increase collaboration at the European level, • A better quantitative understanding of the questions on energy and carbon flows among stakeholders (academia, government, and private sector) • Context rich scenarios for the next 30 - 40 years regarding carbon flows in Europe and related policy and economic aspects • Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) • Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) • Czech Ecological Institute (CEI) • Warsaw Ecological Economics Centre (WEEC) • Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) • Science Policy research Unit (SPRU) • IT International Project Office: • Pier Vellinga (chair) • Anna J.
