TRANSrisk, aims to understand the costs, level of public acceptance, and the risks, uncertainties and co-effects associated with different mitigation pathways and low-carbon technologies. In order to help policymakers manage uncertainties TRANSrisk will gather data via 15 case studies from the EU and other regions, and employ a variety of different models to explore scenarios and pathways. TRANSrisk will also engage a wide range of stakeholders to help develop credible transition pathways, thus integrating quantitative and qualitative analysis in a unique and innovative way.


The TRANSrisk objectives are to:

  • create an innovative assessment framework for analysing the risks and uncertainties, as well as costs and benefits, of low carbon transition pathways;
  • engage with policy makers to embed consideration of risk and uncertainty at the heart of policy design;
  • establish an assessment framework that brings together quantitative models and qualitative approaches, focusing on participatory consultations with stakeholders as a link between the approaches;
  • design decision support tools to help policymakers better understand uncertainties and risks, therefore supporting robust policy design.


TRANSrisk expected results are:

  • enhanced support for technological, institutional and socio-economic “climate-action” innovation;
  • reduced uncertainties in the assessment of costs, benefits and economic values of mitigation options;
  • support for the EU and global climate policy goals;
  • scientific underpinning for implementation of the EU’s “Roadmap for moving to a low - carbon economy in 2050”
