Despite the wide recognition of the complex interactions between trade and climate policies, the state-of-the-art capabilities in macroeconomic models face substantial limitations, such as lack of granular data, dependence on conventional trade theories, limited empirical evidence on trade-climate interactions, limited representation of the value and material chain in key (existing and emerging) sectors, heavy reliance on frameworks not accounting for endogenous technical change, limited understanding of the role of developing countries in trade, etc.
ENTICE aims to develop novel data and modelling capacity to enhance our knowledge and inform policymakers on the positive and negative impacts of trade and trade policy on climate and the environment, by combining well-established macroeconomic modelling with new trade theories, empirical analysis, and enhanced data granularity. The project will focus on emissions and climate change issues but also integrate the broader effects on the environment, biodiversity, pollution, and natural resources depletion.
ENTICE - ENhanced understanding of Trade Impacts on Climate, industries, and the Environment
Topic: HORIZON-CL5-2024-D1-01-04 - Improved toolbox for evaluating the climate and environmental impacts of trade policies
Start Date: 1 January 2025
End Date: 31 December 2028
Grant agreement ID: 101184775
Holistic plays a central role in communication, dissemination and stakeholder engagement within the ENTICE project. It will lead the development of policy briefs, infographics, and an interactive tool to enhance the project's outreach and usability, integrating feedback through the project’s Listening Mechanism Seminars and capacity-building events. Additionally, Holistic will conduct a public perception survey in the project's final phase to evaluate how ENTICE findings influence expert and public understanding of trade-climate dynamics.
