The CCPG has worked on a number of research projects. Currently, the CCPG is playing a key role in the work of PARIS REINFORCE.
Active Projects:
PARIS REINFORCE 
PARIS REINFORCE (PR) is an EC-funded project involving 18 European and non-European partners supporting the Paris Agreement (PA) goals.
PR aims to bridge the gap between formal representation in climate modelling, and the real-life context in which climate-orientated decisions are made by connecting science, policy making and stakeholders. In light of PA, the key aim of PR is to reinforce climate policymaking with rigorous scientific data and to enhance the science-policy interface.
As part of this project, a large network of contributing academics and researchers are focussing on improving and enhancing the deployment of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) in performing global analyses of various climate change scenarios. This is the main goal of PR - to develop a novel and demand-driven IAM-orientated framework for supporting the design and assessment of climate policies in the EU and other major or less emitting countries.
In addition to this, the PR project is actively working on a transparent, interactive and open-access data exchange platform for climate modelling – I2AM PARIS.
I2AM PARIS will enable stakeholders to compare different pathways to understand which are the most relevant and realistic, allowing for model inter-comparisons. The platform also hosts detailed documentation and analysis carried out by PARIS REINFORCE integrated assessment and energy system models. By doing so, the project can demonstrate how IAMs can be used in a more effective manner, as well as their role in fully understanding low-carbon pathway transitions and how best to achieve them.
As part of PR, a number of publications, commentaries and deliverables have been produced - detailing the scope of the project, research findings or policy briefs. These include the documentation of global IAMs, stakeholder needs & research capacity, game-changing innovation, and investigating optimal allocation of Green Recovery Funds.
