    What this call funds

    This call funds research projects that evaluate how well EU and national climate policies actually work at cutting greenhouse gas emissions, especially in sectors not covered by the EU carbon market. Projects should build better tools and methods to measure the real impact of climate policies, understand what drives behaviour change, and predict emission reductions before new policies are introduced. The goal is to give policymakers solid evidence to design fairer, more effective climate action.
