International Training Seminar on Climate Change policies

(Trends, Modeling – LEAP, Evaluation – AMS)

11 – 15 November 2013 KEPA premises, Athens, Greece

      The International Training Seminar on Climate Change policies is a one-week training activity aiming to offer a holistic approach to the problems which policy makers from countries with emerging economies face in fulfilling their needs for such policies. Trainees will get updated on international policy trends, data collection, scenarios development, policy mixture selection with the use of LEAP (and its updated versions) and their assessment with the use of AMS (for climate change policy mixtures). LEAP is a software tool for energy policy analysis and climate change mitigation assessment developed in SEI’s (Stockholm Environment Institute) U.S. center. It is a widely-used tool in the world today with over two thousand users in more than 190 countries for energy and environment policy analysis. LEAP has been adopted as the tool of choice by numerous countries wishing to plan their energy systems to meet sus-tainable development goals. The AMS method is a multi-criteria method for evaluating climate change policy instruments or policy mixtures, with suitable modification for evaluating their interactions as well, developed in KEPA – NKUA (Energy Policy and Development Centre – National and Kapodistrian University of Athens). Both LEAP and AMS have been used for the development and assessment of M/A policy portfolios for twelve (12) countries of BSEC and Central Asia. Read more…
