  • Equity and disparities in the costs and benefits of the transition – April 09, 2025

    PRISMA is pleased to promote the final event of the project ECEMF (European Climate and Energy Modelling Forum) on April 09, 2025.

    This collaboration between PRISMA and ECEMF arises from the strong connection between the two projects. Several partners actively contribute to both initiatives, joining forces to advance impactful, policy-relevant climate and energy modelling across Europe.

    Highlights:

    • Findings from EC-funded European Climate & Energy Modelling Forum
    • Clear pathways to EU climate neutrality
    • Cost-benefit analysis of the transition
    • Electrification as key strategy
    • Interactive discussions with policy & industry leaders

    During the event Dr. Johannes Emmerling presented insights into the equity in Europe’s transition to climate neutrality. Johannes’ session revealed that EU-2030 plans fall short of fair-share ambition: responsibility- and capability-based metrics demand 47–130 % cuts by 2030 and over 90 % by 2040. Carbon prices of €120–1500 t-CO₂ risk regressive impacts, hitting Southern and Eastern Europe hardest unless revenues flow as climate dividends or labour-tax cuts. Multi-model evidence warns that inaction could lift the global Gini by 1.4 points, yet smart redistribution may create 1.5 million EU jobs by 2050.
