What are current greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios commonly proposed for India?
As part of a series of regional and EU-national workshops, at this event we will discuss the current greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios commonly proposed for India. An extensive and open discussion, with climate and energy stakeholders from India, will focus upon the feasibility, opportunities and barriers that stem from these mitigation pathways.
The workshop series are run by the Paris Reinforce consortium within which Bruegel is participating. The project is a 3-year Horizon 2020 (European Commission) funded research programme. The project aims to develop a deeper understanding of the potential greenhouse gas emission mitigation pathways required in order to globally conform to the targets of the Paris Agreement.
The scientific analysis of the project is performed using a suite of sophisticated energy-economic models. In order to produce relevant and informed analysis, the project devotes significant resources to incorporating stakeholder feedback into the assumptions underpinning modelling activities and scenarios.
This event is open only to select experts and Bruegel’s Membership.

Opinion
“Only a broad policy framework – taking into account economic, fiscal, industrial, labour, innovation and social policy issues – can address the challenges of the climate crisis in a balanced way.”
Podcast
Bruegel research fellow Simone Tagliapietra discusses his new book, Global Energy Fundamentals.
Blog Post
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has set a new destination for EU climate policy: a 55% emissions reduction by 2030. This is a good and necessary step on the way to climate neutrality by 2050, but getting there will not be easy, and Europe should prepare for a bumpy road ahead.
Podcast
When it comes to global carbon emission is a tax the best form of defence? To make the European Green Deal work, the EU is considering a levy on carbon-intensive goods manufactured beyond its borders. But will a carbon border tax spawn a massive bureaucracy and lead to accusations of protectionism? To find out, Nicholas Barrett talked to Georg Zachmann and Ben McWilliams from Bruegel and Gabriel Felbermayr, President of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
Policy Contribution
Most foreign direct investment into Russia originates in the European Union: European investors own between 55 percent and 75 percent of Russian FDI stock. This points to a Russian dependence on European investment, making the EU paramount for Russian medium-term growth. Even if we consider ‘phantom’ FDI that transits through Europe, the EU remains the primary investor in Russia. Most phantom FDI into Russia is believed to originate from Russia itself and thus is by construction not foreign.
Policy Contribution
Concern is growing in the European Union that a rapprochement between Russia and China could have negative implications for the EU.
Past Event
First PARIS REINFORCE Stakeholder Council Dialogue
Past Event
The Dialogue focuses on technology, finance, industrial transformations and the political economy, which are identified by COP21 RIPPLES as key leverage points for triggering transformation.
Podcast
In this Director's Cut of 'The Sound of Economics', Guntram Wolff and Simone Tagliapietra discuss the division of tasks for the new EU commissioners, following Ursua Von der Leyen's announcement of roles on 10th September. They specifically zoom in on the role of the Green Deal, one of the flagship projects of this commission.
Blog Post
Ursula von der Leyen plans to introduce a border carbon tax to avoid that cutting EU carbon emissions forces EU companies to move their activities abroad. But will this tax trigger a conflict between climate preservation and the multilateral trading system, or can trade and climate preservation coexist?
External Publication
Endowed with half of the world's known oil and gas reserves, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is cornerstone of the global energy architecture. This article argues that – together with the pressing need to create jobs opportunities for a large and youthful population – the possibility of the world moving more aggressively towards a low-carbon future should represent a key argument for the implementation of economic reform programmes.
Opinion
The new leaders of the European Union, who have relentlessly championed open markets, will, ironically, likely trigger a conflict between climate preservation and free trade. But this clash is unavoidable, and how Europe and the world manage it will help to determine the fate of globalisation, if not that of the climate.
