The EMPOCI project is investigating how to accelerate the low-carbon transition in energy and mobility systems at a regional and national level.
Tackling the climate emergency means rapidly decarbonising our production and consumption systems, particularly in the increasingly interconnected energy and mobility systems.
But how should governments navigate their way between competing climate policy interests and industrial policy concerns, while accelerating sustainability transitions?
Answering this question calls for a re-examination of effective policy mixes for delivering rapid decarbonization and green competitiveness, and a consideration of the politics and policies of green transition processes.
The EMPOCI project has three main aims:
- To provide new understandings of the global interplay between multi-level policy mixes and low-carbon innovations in socio-technical transitions
-
To develop and test new methodological tools enabling both deep and broad insights into the drivers and barriers in transition processes towards sustainability
-
To co-design practical strategies for accelerating sustainable energy-mobility transitions, supporting the Paris Agreement in combating climate change.
