This paper analyses the obstacles and solutions related to the provision of cross-border public transport (CBPT) between neighbouring EU countries, with the focus on the borders between Poland and Lithuania, and between Romania and Hungary.
Publications
This paper identifies patterns and priorities and makes recommendations to influence the shift from personal car use to more sustainable modes of transport.
This paper looks at four policy areas that interact with transport policy at the local level: climate change, urban development, digitalisation and employment.
This paper looks at EU funding that can support the decarbonisation of the transport sector and why emissions reduction projects can be at a competitive disadvantage.
This report finds that the uptake in shipping capacity far exceeds global forecasts of LNG trade as the world transitions away from fossil fuels to limit global warming to 1.5°C, and that the LNG shipbuilding business could become stranded under the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s net zero scenario.
The EU set up the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to prevent 'carbon leakage'. This paper explores the potential impact of CBAM on non-EU countries.
This paper assesses the risk of material bottlenecks in the EU's energy transition and discusses potential policy responses.
Projects
This project, funded by the IKEA Foundation, shows how a group of countries from different regions can update their NDCs (national climate pledges) to be in line with the Paris Agreement goals.
This project seeks to address current gaps and overlaps in the policy framework for passenger transport emissions in Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Romania.
All governments which ratified the Paris Agreement are required to produce a new round of climate action plans, or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), in 2020, as part of their commitment to achieve its objectives. Contributing to this process, Climate Analytics has conducted studies exploring the link between forest governance in the Congo Basin countries and the NDCs.
The project will define a concrete date for zero emissions from coal in the European electricity mix and a shut down schedule for each existing or planned coal power plant in the European Union, in order to meet temperature limit set out in the Paris Agreement.
This project aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and the promotion of best practices for Paris Agreement-compatible climate action in the transport and building sectors in Central and Eastern Europe, focusing on Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
The project looks into the consequences of the Paris Agreement for planned and existing coal capacity, comparing existing and planned coal capacity for a set of key countries/regions.
This project looks at the implications of the Paris Agreement, especially of the 2°C temperature limit and the 1.5°C aspirational goal, for greenhouse gas emission mitigation in Finland.
Project period April - May 2016.
