BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:

The project of Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP) has made major academic contributions in improving understanding of climate models, exploring routes to a global climate agreement, advancing knowledge on climate-friendly development, conducting research on interventions towards a low-carbon economy, and developing methodologies for simulation modelling and context-specific approaches. The project has also actively engaged with key decision-makers, influenced UN climate negotiations, and secured leveraged funding. The project's research themes for Phase Two align with the question's focus on international climate finance programmes and wider climate goals.
