Climate and Low Carbon Economics and Research 

• Energeia helped organize, develop and deliver the ACT2015 Consortium; a EU & private foundation EU multimillion Grant to 9 international organizations consortium to develop and produce a draft Paris treaty text, drafted it in legal form, and disseminated with accompanying explanatory memoranda and supporting documents. The draft proposal had a 85% overlap with the resulting text. 

• Energeia Co-led with Japan and the UK, the steering committee research team of scientists from the 20 world largest country emitters that first modelled very low (i.e. 70 – to 90% carbon reductions) and defined what a low carbon society looked like in the context of these reductions becoming sustainable and permanent  (2006 - 2009).

• Energeia Developed a Climate Change mediated modelling and economics methodology (the economics of boldness, EoB) for negotiation support, simultaneously using workshops and integrated climate / Economic analysis modelling to calculate risk reducing interactions between regional impact, mitigation, adaptation and carbon and investment inflows at different levels of global developed and developing mitigation commitments; and tested hypothesis and results with UK DFID and FCO support in 12 LAC countries throughout 2008 and 2009. Discussed outputs at COP15 sponsored by CR, Colombia and Peru; at Lima UN Finance ministries meeting (2009, 2010); at the OECD Climate Change Economics Seminar, Paris, October 2009. Subsequently at ASEAN Experts meeting on EoB (Thailand, 2010), at the Asia – Europe meeting (Vietnam, 2010) and at Central America Clean Energy Conference in Guatemala based on Economics of boldness results (2010), as well as at Costa Rica regional negotiators meeting, organized by the Govts. of CR, UK and France (San Jose 2009).
