How is climate change related to what we do? Based on an amusing “The Low Carbon Grandma” case study, FEEM researcher Valentina Bosetti explains why “Life is a Balancing Act”. This is the second of a series of video lessons prepared for NECST, an Erasmus+ project aimed at the digital and shared production of scientific contents.
The first video lesson on the link between individual behaviour and climate change was "The Planetary Individual", where FEEM researcher Massimo Tavoni focused on the simple steps we can take to reduce CO2 emissions.
Turkey is experiencing a strong growth in energy demand and a strong need for energy supply security. This Re3 article explores policies in the industrial, residential and transportation sectors to improve Turkey's energy efficiency performance and to achieve the triple target of improving energy security, reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing this country’s economic competitiveness.

What are the new challenges and opportunities for European gas markets? Leading energy experts interviewed on the occasion of the fourth edition of FEEM's annual "Gas Talks" provide their views on the current situation and shed light on a potential way forward, spanning from COP21 to shifting geopolitical balances.
Was the climate agreement reached in Paris at the COP21 meeting a crucial step in international climate negotiations? How does it deal with key issues such as mitigation, adaptation, loss & damage and climate finance? In this new Re3 article, FEEM researchers Elisa Calliari, Aurora D’Aprile and Marinella Davide, scrutinize the main features of this historical agreement.
In the context of climate change, drought spells in water scarce regions will become more frequent and water withdrawals for irrigation may become unsustainable, now and for future generations. What to do about it? Re3 publishes a video introducing the basic concepts of insurance as a useful instrument to preserve water bodies and our environment.
The start of this century has been characterized by the rapid rise of the middle classes in emerging countries and by their stagnation and transformation in the Western world. This issue of Equilibri focuses on this historical turn in Brazil, India and China, where the rise of the middle classes is likely to slacken as a result of the slowdown of their economies, which are essentially based on low cost labor and natural resources trading.

FEEM has been an active player in the climate change debate since the very beginning. First, by participating in the most important and comprehensive scientific process centered on climate change since 1995. Second, by supporting Italian delegations during negotiations processes since 1997. On the occasion of the COP21 Conference in Paris, FEEM has released a set of infographics that illustrate the story of its role in many important national and international events and projects, and its key scientific publications.
A need for low-carbon world has added a new challenging dimension for the long-term energy scenarios development. In addition to the traditional factors like technological progress, demographic, economic, political and institutional considerations, there is another aspect of the modern energy forecasts related to the coverage, timing, and stringency of policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants.
