This event is part of the final policy event of the Horizon 2020 project called LOCOMOTION (‘Low-carbon society: an enhanced modelling tool for the transition to sustainability’) taking place in Brussels on the 26th of October. This event aims to present the latest findings emerging from the project in five different areas (see the agenda) as well as its policy recommendations for the EU’s green and just transition. In addition to its findings, we aim to discuss its implications for advocacy and how integrated assessment models can support your work.

One of the fundamental aims of LOCOMOTION is to improve climate and environmental policymaking. The set of LOCOMOTION models will model the interlinkages of different policy measures increasing the transparency, realism and acceptance of different policy scenarios. In the end, LOCOMOTION will help policymakers and civil society to identify the most effective pathways towards a sustainable and climate-neutral society.

We would like you to join the debate.
