Roadmap 2050 - pathway to a decarbonised power sector

13 April 2010

The European Climate Foundation (ECF) has published its new report titled the 'Roadmap 2050' which shows how the EU power sector can be fully decarbonised by 2050.

The mission of Roadmap 2050 is to provide a practical, independent and objective analysis of pathways to achieve a low-carbon economy in Europe, in line with energy security, environmental and economic goals of the European Union. The Roadmap 2050 project has been developed by a consortium of experts funded by the ECF.

Project Catalyst releases latest paper assessing emissions reductions from Copenhagen Accord

Latest Briefing Paper Assesses Copenhagen Accord pledges and implied greenhouse gas emissions

Current developments in Project Catalyst research take stock of the pledges made to the Copenhagen Accord as of the February 1, 2010 soft deadline.

The 14 page document, published by Project Catalyst, provides an overview of the outcomes from the UNFCCC's COP 15 meeting in terms of emission reduction pledges, but also lays bare the necessity for stronger and more ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) cutting targets.

"This latest report looks at the emissions implications of the pledges to the Copenhagen Accord," said the European Climate Foundation's Tom Brookes. He went on to say that it would be a useful document to read and share for anyone interested in the actual effects on emissions reductions of global climate negotiations.
