Climate and energy transition

The climate and energy transition is one of the most complex challenges facing our societies. Achieving climate neutrality requires not only technological innovation, but also effective, evidence-based public policies capable of balancing environmental objectives, economic efficiency and social inclusion.

Through its Climate and energy transition pillar, the Public Policy House brings together researchers with expertise in economics, policy analysis, regulation, law and energy systems to contribute to the design and evaluation of policies supporting a sustainable transition.

The pillar aims to bridge academic research and public decision-making by providing rigorous analysis, fostering dialogue between stakeholders and supporting the development of solutions for a resilient and inclusive energy future.

Research and expertise

The Climate and energy transition pillar focuses on the economic, regulatory and societal dimensions of the transition towards low-carbon systems.

Research activities address key questions such as:

• How can energy markets evolve to support decarbonisation while ensuring affordability and security of supply?
• Which policy instruments can accelerate emissions reductions while limiting inequalities?
• How can citizens, firms and institutions participate effectively in the transition?
• How can regulatory frameworks adapt to emerging energy challenges?

A particular area of expertise concerns electricity markets and their role in the decarbonisation of the economy, including market design, flexibility mechanisms and the integration of renewable energy sources.
