D8.2 Communication and Dissemination Plan, Progress Update – June 2018 iii

Preface

Both the models concerning the future climate evolution and its impacts, as well as the models

assessing the costs and benefits associated with different mitigation pathways face a high degree

of uncertainty. There is an urgent need to not only understand the costs and benefits associated

with climate change but also the risks, uncertainties and co-effects related to different mitigation

pathways as well as public acceptance (or lack of) of low-carbon (technology) options. The main

aims and objectives of TRANSrisk therefore are to create a novel assessment framework for

analysing costs and benefits of transition pathways that will integrate well-established approaches

to modelling the costs of resilient, low-carbon pathways with a wider interdisciplinary approach

including risk assessments. In addition, TRANSrisk aims to design a decision support tool that

should help policy makers to better understand uncertainties and risks and enable them to include

risk assessments into more robust policy design.

D8.2 Communication and Dissemination Plan, Progress Update – June 2018 iv

Executive Summary

The purpose of this document is to present how TRANSrisk’s Communication and Dissemination

Plan, drafted as Deliverable 8.2, has been implemented and enhanced since its submission.

Communication tools, dissemination activities and events are set out that help us meet European

and regional needs and achieve the final aim, which is to raise awareness and motivate action in

regards to TRANSrisk outcomes.

The aim of the Communication and Dissemination Plan is:

To disseminate knowledge collected, processed and accumulated in preceding WPs to

external stakeholders through a series of specific and concrete actions

To effectively disseminate and communicate such knowledge to stakeholder groups of

potential beneficiaries from the action and concerned citizens.

To create maximum impacts for policy implications and recommendations drawn from

TRANSRISK at European Union (EU) and Member State levels.

The elaboration of this 4th update of the Communication and Dissemination Plan follows the

previous update submitted in December 2017. In the last 6 months, the focus of communication

and dissemination activities was to showcase our technical outputs, as well as planning the final

year’s activities (events targeted to policy makers, publications and dissemination of the case

studies’ work). It is expected that the most significant outcomes are deriving during the next

period, thus, the communication and dissemination activities will be modified in order to increase

the impact of these outcomes (next, and final, issue of D8.2 December 2018).

1 EC SUMMARY REQUIREMENTS

1.1 Changes with respect to the DoA

No deviations from DoA have been occurred.

1.2 Dissemination and uptake

The present deliverable is used by TRANSrisk partners to direct them into following appropriate

communication and dissemination activities to further promote TRANSrisk results. The deliverable

could also serve as guidelines for someone interested in exploring the different and various options

of efficient dissemination.

1.3 Short Summary of results (<250 words)

This document reports progress on implementation of the Communication and Dissemination Plan

and its purpose is to describe the approach adopted, as well as the progress so far of the

implemented activities aiming to disseminate TRANSrisk and its outcomes. It is primarily focused

on external stakeholders.

This document focuses on the centralised dissemination elements of TRANSrisk: centrally led

communication activities and the tools developed to support efficient dissemination of TRANSrisk

outcomes. However, note that a large part of TRANSrisk’s dissemination is decentralised, through

each partner’s stakeholder engagement process and their contacts in the scientific and policy

making communities. This plan aims to support decentralised dissemination activities, however

their timing and implementation is arranged by the individual partners themselves.

1.4 Evidence of accomplishment

The present deliverable highlights the main strategies that were followed within TRANSrisk to

promote its activities and engage an important number of interested parties. The communication

and dissemination plan has an open access policy, and all dissemination materials are uploaded to

the appropriate section of the TRANSrisk website (Consensus Building » Info Pack1). Moreover, in

1http://www.transrisk-project.eu/consensus-building/info-pack

http://www.transrisk-project.eu/consensus-building/info-pack


order to ensure that TRANSrisk deliverables are easily accessed, a special section in TRANSrisk

website has been created which incorporates all of them (Virtual Library » TRANSrisk Reports2).

Also, special sections showcasing the results, respective activities and content per work package

(WP) and per case study are under construction. Currently, the special section has been developed

for the Dissemination3 WP and the Country Case Studies4 WP, while similar sections are being

developed for the rest of the WPs. To date, the progress of the dissemination plan has included

the following activities:

2 INTRODUCTION

Constant dissemination is essential for take-up of our results, which is crucial for the success of

TRANSrisk and for the sustainability of its outputs in the long term. At the same time, the

consortium has been careful to avoid ‘information overload’ due excessive dissemination of

results.

The internal objective of the TRANSrisk Communication and Dissemination Plan is to provide the

TRANSrisk consortium with an effective and efficient blueprint to follow in disseminating the work

and results of TRANSrisk. The external objectives of the TRANSrisk Communication and

Dissemination Plan are to make known as widely as possible the findings and recommendations of

TRANSrisk, especially to policy-makers and other end-users at Member-State, EU and international

levels.

This report is the fourth update of the TRANSrisk’s Communication and Dissemination Plan, and

the previous versions can be found online1. During the last semester, December 2017 – June 2018,

and as TRANSrisk has completed its 34 months of implementation and is moving towards its end,

the strategy has been redefined in order to effectively deliver the desired message specifically to

policy makers. The involvement of policy makers in TRANSrisk activities is very useful in order to

get an alternative perspective, discuss results and collect feedback and input which will further

improve TRANSrisk’s scientific work. In addition, establishing a close and constant communication

with stakeholders with high impact on decision making, such as policy makers, is the best way to

exploit the project ideas in terms of outputs, milestones and objectives.

The report is structured as follows. In Section 3 the Communication and Dissemination concept

followed in TRANSrisk is presented, in Section 4 dissemination tools produced and planned are

described, whilst in Section 5 the implemented and planned Communication and Dissemination

activities are illustrated. Finally, annexes provide more details for the developed tools and

implemented activities.

In the following table the progress during the current reporting period (December 2017 – June

2018) is summarised.

3 COMMUNICATION & DISSEMINATION CONCEPT

The communication and dissemination of TRANSrisk results takes several forms and uses a variety

of media. Some activities have greater impact than others, and thus, their value to the aims of

the action differs. Communication and dissemination activities, wherever possible, use language

that is non-technical and understandable to the target stakeholders. Interested parties need to

know what has been achieved and why it is important to them. The same messages can be used

for dissemination to different stakeholders, but the language should be adapted for each audience.

The Communication and Dissemination plan ensures a constant flow of information, production

and dissemination of printed material, articles in newspapers, website material, presentations

etc., communication programmes (e.g. organised briefings, presentations at EU-level and

international conferences etc.), events, scientific publications and clear time-scheduling of

implementation of activities.

TRANSrisk consortium spends the majority of the dissemination resource on high effort and high

impact tools that require the dissemination of more detailed and labour intensive

content/materials (i.e. WP content and outputs). These efforts also include direct contact with

stakeholders via workshops, conferences etc. TRANSrisk partners complement these high

impact/effort activities with lower impact dissemination, which require less detailed content and

time to develop (summaries, presentations etc.) and is generally aimed at a broader audience.

TRANSrisk dissemination strategy for the forthcoming period is to especially focus on policy

oriented activities towards the organisation of the TRANSrisk final policy events. Thus, TRANSrisk

communication tools will effort to ensure that policy recommendations are relevant to a large

proportion of the population and align with the needs of organisations and policy-makers

responsible for their implementation.

Dissemination Committee and Strategic Working Group

Dissemination Committee (DC) that consists of three members (UPRC, SPRU, and JIN teams)

assembles after the consortium call and management board meetings once a month. In order to

keep the DC as compact as possible, and also to exploit the experience of other partners,

dissemination matters are briefly presented during the consortium calls to all consortium

members. Moreover, it was also commonly agreed the arrangement of bilateral meetings with

each case study leader, in order to discuss tailor-made dissemination strategies per each case

study. The process has been initiated with UPRC and NTUA being in close collaboration regarding

the promotion of the implemented work in the Greece case study. Similar collaboration is

established with the rest of the case study leaders. In addition, to the bilateral meetings with case

study leaders, the DC decided on including a session on stakeholder engagement and dissemination

strategy within the TRANSrisk case study calls, where an open update on case study progress is

taken place, so as to help to provide specialist and peer support for case study leaders.


The Strategic Working Group (SWG) monitor the overall progress of the project and takes part in

relevant teleconferences every first Thursday of a month. The purpose is to discuss dissemination

and progress issues that emerge regarding case studies, as well as the general strategy of

TRANSrisk. The members of the group are: Jenny Lieu (SPRU), Wytze van der Gaast (JIN), Annela

Anger-Kraavi (CE), Andreas Tuerk (Graz), Chara Karakosta (UPRC), Vaggelis Psarras (UPRC), Oscar

van Vliet (ETHZ), Ed Dearnley (SPRU), Tim Suljada (SEI) and Eise Spijker (JIN). The idea is to have

oversight on some of the areas that are becoming key in the last year of the project: wider

developments in climate change policy and how to reach out to policy-makers, integration of

modelling to case studies, dissemination and project management.

Synergies with relevant initiatives:

The consortium places particular emphasis on establishing important links and closely integrating

with other organisations/EU projects carrying out similar or related research and analysis. This

integration and collaboration effort does not only strengthen the research and knowledge base for

the research activities carried out in TRANSrisk, but also opens up possibilities of enhancing future

cooperation.

In the last semester three (8) new (DEEDS, COP21-RIPPLES, Carbon-CAP, PUBLEnEf, REINVENT,

EUCalc, COACCH, PROSPECT) of a total of nineteen (29) Synergies with EU initiatives have been

established (i.e. ENSPOL, DIA-CORE, SUSTAIN, CARISMA, POLIMP, OPTIMUS, BETTER, Towards2030-

dialogue, APRAISE, ESCOCITY, CES-MED, EUGCC Clean Energy Network II, Green-Win, SET-Nav,

PATHWAYS, COMPLEX, EDGAR, ADVANCE, AMPERE, MEDEAS, INNOPATHS, DEEDS, COP21-RIPPLES,

Carbon-CAP, PUBLEnEf, REINVENT, EUCalc, COACCH, PROSPECT). These are available in the

TRANSrisk “Useful Links” webpage5 as well as in the “Synergies” one6 which is hosted under the

“Consensus Building” domain of TRANSrisk website. Moreover, TRANSrisk results are also

disseminated through a variety of other knowledge-sharing platforms. Until now, 8 platforms have

been identified for this purpose (i.e. Clean Energy Info Portal - reegle, Climate Change Information

Network (CC:iNet), Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP), Climatechangemitigation.EU,

Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), Climate Policy Info Hub, European Climate

Adaptation Platform (CLIMATE-ADAPT), Technology Transfer Clearinghouse (TT: CLEAR), Network

for Business Sustainability (NBS)).

One of the best examples of constructive synergies is our involvement in the

climatechangemitigation.eu portal. Here TRANSrisk has joined a consortium of several other EU-

funded projects, managed by the CARISMA project. The aim is/was to develop a platform featuring

highlights of their work, therefore showing how EU research funding contributes to knowledge

enhancement on climate change mitigation. The portal aims to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for policy

makers and other interested parties, where they can view research summaries from a large number

5http://transrisk-project.eu/useful-links 6http://transrisk-project.eu/content/synergies

http://transrisk-project.eu/useful-links

http://transrisk-project.eu/content/synergies


of projects in the climate mitigation arena. A banner linking to the platform can be found at the

front page of TRANSrisk website.

Figure 1: TRANSrisk Synergies with Relevant EU Initiatives

A very important aspect for better collaboration and input or results exchange with other

initiatives, is the joint organization/ participation in workshops/ conference. Partners from

different projects relevant to the field of energy and climate change have the opportunity to meet

each other, present the progress of the progress, request input and feedback and discuss about


common activates, etc. Up until now the following events have been organized among relevant

European projects:

“International Workshop on Sustainability and Resilience of Bio-energy for Climate Change:

Scoping and Envisioning”, 11-13 May 2016, Bali, Indonesia (co- organized with GREEN- WIN

H2020 project).

“Towards a Low-Carbon European Union – The Case of Greece”, 25 October 2016, Athens,

Greece (co – organized with Towards2030-dialogue IEE project).

GREEN-WIN, TRANSrisk, ICCTF, Udayana University “2nd International Workshop on

Sustainability and Resilience of Bio-energy for Climate Change: Support Exemplary Solutions,

Business Models and Enabling Conditions”, 22-24 May 2017, Bali, Indonesia

GREEN-WIN, TRANSrisk, ICCTF, Udayana University “3rd International Workshop on

Sustainability and Resilience of Bioenergy for Climate Change: Green business and synergy

action for climate change mitigation and adaptation to realise clean energy and climate smart

agriculture”, 8-11 April 2018, Bali, Indonesia

TRANSrisk & CARISMA joint side event “Strengthening institutional capabilities to support

implementation of ambitious NDCs”, at UN Climate Change Conference (SB48), 8 May 2018,

Bonn, Germany

More information on these events can be found in the previous versions of the Communication and

Dissemination Plan1.

Common Dissemination Booster

TRANSrisk, as leader project, synthesised a cluster of Horizon2020 projects namely INNOPATHS7,

SET-Nav8, GREEN-WIN9 and CARISMA10 and applied for the following services of the EC’s Common

Dissemination Booster (CDB):

Portfolio Identification

Stakeholder/End-User Mapping

Development of the Portfolio Dissemination Plan

Building of Dissemination Capacity

Dissemination Campaign Management

Through the CDB’s services the cluster would be assisted in devising the most effective market-

facing dissemination strategy to maximise uptake of complementary results within the project

group through several trainings, webinars etc. It would be a good chance to disseminate projects’

results professionally and acquire the know-how on an effective dissemination strategy.

Although the cluster was put in a reserve list, it had laid the path to strong synergy with GREEN-

WIN and CD-Links and led to planning of the GREEN-WIN, TRANSrisk and CD-Links joint policy day.

GREEN-WIN, TRANSrisk and CD-Links Joint Policy Day11

After a series of events (namely co-organisation of the conferences in Bali, the CDB cluster, and

the participation in the “decarbonisation project networking workshop” in February 2018), close

collaboration with GREEN-WIN and CD-Links has been established and arrangements have taken

place in order to co-organise a policy day back to back with the GREEN-WIN’s final project meeting

in Brussels. The policy day will be held on the 7th November 2018, at the Royal Library Meeting

Center, in Brussels, Belgium. It will consist of 3 sessions with 3 x 10-minute presentations each,

and will present the necessity of shorter-term multiple-objective and bottom-up climate

strategies in the post-Paris Agreement era. More particularly, the workshop will enable policy

makers to understand possible trade-offs and co-benefits between the UN Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs), as well as the potential risks and uncertainties that lie within low-

carbon transitions. Moreover, posters depicting key findings from the three projects on climate

mitigation and adaptation as well as risk and uncertainties assessment will be on display.

4 COMMUNICATION & DISSEMINATION TOOLS DEVELOPED

Several tools have been (and will be further) developed to support TRANSrisk’s communication

and dissemination activities. These are illustrated in the Table below, with more detail provided

in the following subsections.

Dissemination tools have been uploaded to the project’s internal website, in order to be available

for the whole consortium, as well as to the official TRANSrisk website in order to be available for

download to stakeholders and the general public.

4.1 TRANSrisk Leaflets

Until December 2017 one flyer and a total of three TRANSrisk leaflets had been created. More

particularly, these materials have been presented in previous versions of the Communication and

Dissemination plan1. For the final dissemination process, a new policymakers-oriented brochure is

envisaged and has been discussed. This leaflet will target policy makers and will present

TRANSrisk’s outputs as a series of questions & answers, grouped into categories. The questions

(such as “What are the synergies and conflicts between reducing carbon emissions and other

economic, social and environmental policy aims?”) will enable policy makers as well as general

public to easily identify any topic which TRANSrisk can solve and they are interested in. It is

envisaged that the leaflet will be also available online in TRANSrisk’s website.

4.2 TRANSrisk Website

TRANSrisk website is constantly updated in a daily basis, while major redesign occurs as needed.

Also, traffic to the website is monitored via the google analytics platform.

Major Redesigns

The results’ webpage has been redesigned with the use of sliding menus, so as to make it more

compact. The reports are hidden within each work-package’s title, and the user can unhide them

by clicking at the relevant title12.

Figure 2: Use of Sliding Menus in TRANSrisk website

12http://www.transrisk-project.eu/results

http://www.transrisk-project.eu/results


Moreover, in order to better present our results and the relevant work that has been implemented

during a variety of means (dissemination material, events, articles, publications, etc.) a new

webpage has been created for the Dissemination work package3. More particularly, at the top of

the webpage there is a 7-tab area where the reports, commentaries, policy briefs, working

documents, scientific publications, general publications, TRANSrisk newsletters, TRANSrisk press

releases and TRANSrisk partners’ newsletters are displayed. The user by clicking on any other

material he is redirected to the respective webpage. Similar webpages are currently in

development for the rest of WPs except from WP3. Particularly, for WP3 a webpage has been

developed consisting of a map in which the countries were TRANSrisk case studies take place are

illustrated4. 14 more webpages, one per country case study, have been created so that all the

available material relevant to a particular case study is gathered in one place. More specifically,

the user is given the ability to filter as well as to sort the displayed content by type (Reports /

Commentaries / Policy Briefs / Working Documents / Scientific Publications / General Publications

/ Events / Interventions).

Website Functionality, Personal Data and GDPR Compliance

In order to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which took effect on

25th of May 2018 TRANSrisk updated its privacy and cookie policy13. Also, when a first-time visitor

accesses the website a banner informs him on the use of cookies (see following figure).

4.4 TRANSrisk Videos and Infographics

Taking into account the nature of TRANSrisk and its outcomes, special emphasis is given to their

appropriate visualisation in order to be easily understood and used by target groups.

Visualising consolidated knowledge/results through videos and interactive or animated

infographics has been, and will be further, explored. Infographics, for example, can provide

comprehensive visual representations of information/data/knowledge of a complex system quickly

and clearly. As such, infographics are used to illustrate how the development of different climate

change mitigation pathways and adaptation strategies could have impacts on the costs, benefits

and risks of different societal and technological transitions in the energy system. It is envisaged

that around 6-8 infographics will be created in total depicting the TRANSrisk initiative, reports,

etc. as well as the toolboxes developed within TRANSrisk framework. Until now, the following 5

infographics have been developed:

5th TRANSrisk Infographic: The infographic presents the concept of the Canadian Case Study and

includes important information about the case study’s background, the aim of the case study, the

three explored low carbon pathways and the used methodology namely the used models and the

stakeholders’ cpnsultation.

All infographics are available in the dedicated webpage of TRANSrisk website15.

Moreover, it has been suggested that an infographic is developed for each case study.

TRANSrisk explanatory interview video16: On the sidelines of the “Decarbonisation project

networking workshop” TRANSrisk coordinator Dr. Jenny Lieu has given an interview explaining the

key elements of TRANSrisk. More particularly TRANSrisk’s objective and the applied methodology

are briefly presented.

Renewable Energies and Energy Transition in Spain 2030-2050 workshop videos17: The

Spanish stakeholder participatory workshop in renewable energies had been recorded in a total of

four videos which feature all the presentations delivered in the workshop.

Kenya’s case study video18: The video “Geothermal landscapes – powering Kenya’s future”

presents the developments of the case study in Kenya and explores the issues raised by TRANSrisk

partner SEI on the risks and uncertainties Kenya must address to continue its development of

geothermal power.

All videos are also featured in the TRANSrisk channel on YouTube19.

Furthermore, the production of an overview TRANSrisk video has been planned in order to display

the core elements of the project. Also, the creation of an explanatory video for each of the

TRANSrisk case studies in Canada, Kenya, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United

Kingdom is currently in progress.

4.5 TRANSrisk Newsletter and Press Releases

The aim of the newsletters is on one hand to attract stakeholders to the case studies, and on the

other to inform them about the progress of TRANSrisk. In doing so, there have been several types

of this kind of outreach. Firstly, a series of official TRANSrisk Newsletters has been launched and

secondly, TRANSrisk Press Releases are broadcasted ad-hoc. It has been foreseen that up to twelve

newsletters will be developed and disseminated during TRANSrisk implementation.

Newsletters: TRANSrisk newsletters’ main target is to engage stakeholders in an ongoing process

in order to define the risks and uncertainties of mitigation and adaptation pathways, as well as

the emerging scenarios. Moreover, they aim to inform on the progress of TRANSrisk. Consequently,

they primarily address to stakeholders and secondarily to the general public.

TRANSrisk has updated its privacy policy13 and informs the electronic communications’ potential

subscribers regarding the processing of their personal data.

The potential subscribers are free to provide their e-mail addresses by filling out the newsletter

subscription form of the website. The positive act of providing consent is the typing of the

potential subscriber’s e-mail address and the click of the button “Subscribe” at the newsletter

subscription form. The former uses clear and plain language to collect the potential subscriber’s

consent of receiving electronic communications, and it is clearly explained that there is the

possibility of withdrawing consent via clicking the respective link at the bottom of the Newsletters

/ Press releases.

Before the GDPR came into effect on 25th of May 2018 a “GDPR Consent” webform21 had been

created and distributed to newsletter subscribers via an announcement22 in order to collect their

written consent.

Further Promotion of Electronic Communications Material

TRANSrisk’s electronic communication material are further distributed via third-party entities

such as the “Climate-L” and “Energy-L” IISD Reporting Services LISTSERVs managed by the

International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)23. The IISD Reporting Services LISTSERVs

are peer-to-peer mailing lists for policy makers and practitioners involved in sustainable

development policy. TRANSrisk is not responsible for any third-party mailing lists.

5.1 Scientific Publications

Scientific publications are one of the key means of disseminating TRANSrisk’s results to the

research community, and provide scientific credibility for the project’s work. Partners are

encouraged and assisted in publishing their results in open access, peer-reviewed journals and

working paper series. These activities ensure that TRANSrisk and its results will be made known

to the research community. Moreover, TRANSrisk participants are encouraged to select topics (or

think of their own), and draw on the various TRANSrisk reports as they write the article.


Until December 2017 nine TRANSrisk scientific publications have been published in scientific

journals, one TRANSrisk chapter has been included in a Springer book and 15 TRANSrisk papers

have been presented in Scientific Conferences. These TRANSrisk publications have been

documented in the previous versions of the “D8.2 Communication and Dissemination Plan”1.

TRANSrisk Special Edition in Springer

Moreover, a book relevant to the methodologies used in TRANSrisk will be published as an Open

Access Book in Springer, within the title "Understanding risks and uncertainties in energy and

climate policy: Multidisciplinary methods and tools towards a low carbon society". The book will

present innovative methodologies and tools that help devise energy and climate policies that

incorporate the key ingredients of robustness. In particular, it will reflect multi-stakeholder

engagement, since collective intelligence helps overcome quantitative models’ limitations,

flexibility to evolve over time as new insights are gained, and identification of ways to trigger

policy adjustment.

In order to create the book a respective Call for Papers had been published in July 2017, and had

been further circulated via the TRANSrisk press release of July 2017. Moreover, a dedicated e-mail


address had been created in order to receive the manuscripts for the book. In total there were 16

submissions which undergone a blind peer-review process, while the 10 best and most relevant

manuscripts were developed into the book’s chapters, through appropriate revision.

The book consists of the following 10 chapters:

A detailed overview and consistent classification of climate-economy models

Alexandros Nikas, Haris Doukas, Andreas Papandreou

‘Consensus Building in Engagement Processes’ for reducing risks in developing sustainable

pathways: Indigenous interests as core elements of engagement

Currently the chapters have been accepted and the book is in print, while it is expected to be

published this autumn.

TRANSrisk Special Edition in Routledge

A second TRANSrisk open access book is also in development, this time with the publisher

Routledge, with the working title “Case study narratives on risks and uncertainties associated

with climate mitigation pathways”. More particularly, each chapter of the book, apart from the

introduction (1st chapter), the 2nd chapter and the last three chapters, will present the story of a

TRANSrisk case study with the focus on highlighting the risks and uncertainties associated with it.


The book’s introduction will give the definition of risk and uncertainty and explain the difference

between implementation and consequential risks / uncertainties. The book’s 2nd chapter will

present how risk and uncertainty are involved in climate mitigation pathways, and particularly

will introduce a conceptual framework for assessing risks and uncertainties across disciplines and

subject matters. The intermediate chapters (3 - 13) will present the respective case study’s

background, the identified pathways, the key implementation and consequential risks discussed,

and the used methods. It is envisaged that the chapters will present the TRANSrisk case studies of

Austria, Canada, Chile, China, Greece, Indonesia, Kenya, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands and

United Kingdom. The 14th chapter will compare the presented case studies in terms of methods

used and types of the assessed risks, as well as the challenges risen in the assessment process.

The 15th chapter will assess the social, economic and environmental impacts of scaling up the

identified technological options. The book’s last chapter will summarise the key findings from all

the explored case studies, and will present the relevant policy recommendations.

TRANSrisk Special Issue in Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions Journal

Finally, the open access special issue with the title “Assessing risks and uncertainties of low-

carbon transition pathways” has been planned in Elsevier’s “Environmental Innovation and

Societal Transitions” journal. The special issue aims to provide a transdisciplinary analytical

framing or method in assessing transition mitigation and/or adaptation pathways, their potential

synergies as well as risks and uncertainties. More particularly, the papers in the special issue will

explore transition pathways beyond a theoretical exercise by seeking to explore the realities of

implementing the pathways in a context through case studies at various spatial levels.

A respective Call for Papers was published in the journal’s official website27, as well as to

TRANSrisk’s website28. Moreover, the call has been promoted via TRANSrisk Press Release Issue 8,

February 2018. Due to the great promotion that had been done, a total of 40 abstracts have been

received and 27 of them were initially accepted.

5.2 Publications targeted at policymakers and

stakeholders

To mobilise acquired, processed and accumulated knowledge for policy debate, TRANSrisk is

developing publications targeted at policymakers and stakeholders. More specifically, there are 3

kinds of publications targeting stakeholders, namely TRANSrisk Commentaries, TRANSrisk Working

Document Series, and TRANSrisk Policy Briefs.

http://www.transrisk-project.eu/consensus-building/transrisk-special-editions/transrisk-special-issue-in-environmental-innovation-and-societal-transitions-journal


TRANSrisk Commentaries29 are brief narrations focusing on describing the current state of

TRANSrisk, as well the accomplishments until the commentary’s distribution; it is envisaged that

there will be one or two commentaries per year.

The first TRANSrisk commentary, published in December 2016, summarises TRANSrisk case

studies in the Netherlands, Kenya, and Chile, and their relevance to the production of

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), as well as their presentation at the TRANSrisk

side – event held at COP22 in Marrakesh.

The second TRANSrisk commentary, published in January 2017, summarises the key issues

and outcomes of the COP22 and their relevance with TRANSrisk.

The third TRANSrisk commentary, published in December 2017, briefly presents the

implications that Brexit will have on UK's climate change strategy.

TRANSrisk Working Document Series30 are brief reports focusing on the developed

methodologies, tools, etc. and are mainly technical and launched ad-hoc whenever major

accomplishments have occurred.

The first issue of TRANSrisk Working Documents, published in November 2017, presents

potential energy pathways for achieving Kenya’s NDC, and highlights conflicts, synergies

and public perception issues that generate uncertainties and risks.

The second issue of TRANSrisk Working Documents, published in November 2017, analyses

a switch of the European iron and steel industry towards production technologies free of

industrial process emissions, as well as its sectoral, macroeconomic and social implications.

The third issue of TRANSrisk Working Documents, published in December 2017, analyses

the offshore wind innovation system in Poland.

The fourth issue of TRANSrisk Working Documents, published in December 2017, explores

whether Renewable Energy Sources auction systems support development of a wide range

of different technologies or instead focus on supporting a select few.

TRANSrisk Policy Briefs31 are reports focusing on the presentation of policies created with the

tools developed within TRANSrisk framework.

The first issue of Policy Briefs, published in March 2017, explores the trade-off risks within

low-carbon transition pathways in the livestock sector in the Netherlands.

The second issue of Policy Briefs, published in December 2017, explores the potential

contribution to European climate change mitigation targets from behavioural change.

Responses to Policy Consultations: Whenever possible TRANSrisk partners will respond to policy

consultation requests relevant to the work implemented within TRANSrisk.

TRANSrisk partners SPRU and IBS have developed along with University of Sussex, Centre on

Innovation and Energy Demand, and Sussex Energy Group the response “Coal Generation in Great

Britain: The pathway to a low-carbon future”32 which responds to an open consultation request of

the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy of the British Government.

Moreover, TRANSrisk partner SPRU issued a policy consultation response to the UNFCCC’s Talanoa

Dialogue for Climate Ambition in April 2018, answering the three posed questions, namely “Where

are we?”, “Where do we want to go?” and “How do we get there?”, with outcomes from the

TRANSrisk case study in Canada. The study suggests that the dependency on the oil economy should

be broken by setting up a process to value adaptation and mitigation measures, as well as that

global open source innovation clusters should be formed aiming to co-develop low carbon

technologies supporting the transition away from fossil fuel dependency and accelerate the market

adoption of low carbon technologies.

TRANSrisk Articles in Scientific and other Magazines: TRANSrisk partners disseminate the

outcomes and knowledge obtained through articles in research and scientific magazines.

TRANSrisk Consortium Meeting, 24-25 January 2018, Stockholm, Sweden65

TRANSrisk Consortium Meeting on the identification of innovative policy options and the linkages

to transition pathways took place on the 24th - 25th of January 2018, in Stockholm, Sweden.

Participants had the opportunity to discuss the process of identifying the innovative climate

change mitigation policy options, and how it will be applied in each TRANSrisk case study.

Moreover, the investigation of feasible pathways that both consider conflicts and co-benefits, risk

and uncertainty, as well as innovation dynamics was examined.

Lastly, the final year's dissemination activities were considered, such as the TRANSrisk final

conference, several policy-making events that will present the climate change mitigation decision

support tools, as well as a potential participation in COP24.

Joint CARISMA & TRANSrisk side event at UN Climate Change Conference April 2018 (SB 48),

8 May 2018, Bonn, Germany66

CARISMA and TRANSrisk co-organised the "Strengthening institutional capabilities to support

implementation of ambitious NDCs" side event at the UN Climate Change Conference April 2018

(SB 48), on 8th of May 2018, in Bonn, Germany.

The goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit the global mean temperature increase to well below

2oC above pre-industrial levels and aim for 1.5oC. For achieving this goal, countries shall prepare,

communicate and maintain nationally determined contributions (NDCs). While NDCs are national

climate plans, there is scope for country collaboration on design and implementation of NDCs.

Moreover, successful design and communication of an NDC does not mean that implementation

will be always successful due to capacity limitations or other obstacles for that.

This side event presented examples of creating synergies in the areas of policy transfer, technology

transfer and capacity building for stronger institutional capabilities for NDCs, both during the

design and implementation stages.

(HELORS) from 14th to 16th June 2018, aiming to disseminate recent scientific advances in the field

of Operational Research and Management Science in Greece and to promote international co-

operation among researchers and practitioners.

More particularly, the workshop consisted of two sessions, “Transitions: policy, business and

stakeholder perspectives” and “Energy technologies, systems and carriers: top down and bottom

up perspectives”, focusing on climate change mitigation and energy production and management

respectively.

TRANSrisk session at the 3rd annual Environmental Gathering: Create the Future, 10 March

2018, Calgary, Alberta, Canada69

TRANSrisk partner SPRU hosted the stakeholder participatory session “Consensus Building in

Engagement Processes for reducing risks in developing sustainable pathways: community interests

as core elements of engagement”, on 10th of March 2018 within the framework of the 3rd annual

Environmental Gathering: Create the Future, organised by the Alberta Ecotrust.

More particularly, the workshop's aim was to identify the best way to reach consensus within

groups with various perspectives about sustainable development of natural resources in Alberta.

Also, a role playing exercise was performed where participants were distributed in round tables

and were given a role to represent a stakeholder (community, industry, government). The

background and context were provided for each stakeholder, and a case/challenge was given. For

example, the installation of an oil well or a wind turbine in the proximities of the community.

Groups were given time to discuss the interest and views of their stakeholder. Then, the

overarching questions were presented to each group and each stakeholder expressed their

viewpoints and the whole group shared the insights discussed at the round table. Later, strategies

for negotiation and consensus building were drawn based on the participant’s experience. It was

desired that participants played a role normally opposite to their natural positions.

TRANSrisk stakeholder workshop on low-carbon pathways in Alberta, 12 March 2018, Fort

McKay, Alberta, Canada70

The Graduate College at the University of Calgary, along with TRANSrisk partner SPRU and The

Graduate Students' Association co-organised the stakeholder workshop entitled “Creating a

Common Language for Low-carbon futures in Alberta”, on 12th of March 2018 within the framework

of the TRANSrisk case study in Canada.

The workshop, consisting of a panel discussion, identified future pathways envisioned by the Fort

McKay residents for their socio-economic development and assessed how these futures may look

like for the community. More particularly, experts from various backgrounds (Indigenous

communities, Academia, Policy Making, and Industry) presented their views on the challenges and

opportunities of current initiatives addressing low-carbon future options in Alberta. In addition,

the panelists discussed the potential risks and uncertainties for these futures and their socio-

economic impact from the perspective of the communities involved. Attendees learned about the

evolution of the energy sector and what is the current situation regarding green-house gas

emissions. Also, they learned how potential low-carbon futures for the province may look like and

engaged in a constructive and thorough dialogue with the panelists and other members of the

audience.

the stakeholder participatory workshop “Renewable Energies and Energy Transition in Spain 2030-

2050”, at Paseo de la Castellana, 257, 28046 Madrid, Spain, on the 23rd of April 2018.

Renewable energies are expected to play a fundamental role in the decarbonisation process of the

world economy to achieve the long-term objectives of the Paris Agreement and the national

objectives acquired by many countries by 2020 and 2030. In the context of accelerating cost

reductions of renewables, the European Union is in the process of reviewing the renewable

objectives identified in the Energy-Climate Package 2030 which could rise from 27% up to 35%. In

Spain, the debate on the role of renewables has also re-emerged mainly in the context of the Law

of Climate Change and Energy Transition.

The workshop’s starting point was the presentation of IRENA’s report “Renewable Energy Prospects

for the European Union” based on which experts from the energy and climate change sectors

reflected on the role that renewable energy sources could play in Spain’s decarbonisation process

within the horizon 2030 and 2050.

Moreover, Alevgul Sorman (BC3) delivered the presentation “The future of Renewable Energies in

Spain” and discussed the results of the respective online survey which has been implemented

within the framework of the TRANSrisk case study in Spain.

Figure 11: Overview of the TRANSrisk stakeholder participatory workshop “Renewable Energies and Energy Transition in Spain 2030-2050”

Events linked to Work Packages outside the country case studies

Interviews, workshops and seminars are also envisaged to take place in the context of other Work

Packages, outside the scope of Work Package 3 (Country Case Studies). Examples include

stakeholder engagement events that will be held for the purpose of Work Package 5, where experts

will be asked to help determine and prioritise key exogenous and consequential risks and

uncertainties that revolve around climate mitigation policy instruments and strategies, as well as

of Work Package 7, where experts from all stakeholder groups will contribute to the qualitative

assessment of the identified policy strategies towards low carbon economies. Such activities are

not explicitly aimed at dissemination so much as setting in motion key tasks and activities of

TRANSrisk; however, they too are expected to include dissemination and communication work.


High-level Policy Events

SEI will organise two sets of high level policy events in Stockholm, Switzerland and Nairobi, Kenya.

In these events, the consortium partners will present key TRANSrisk results, stylising the content

for the two locations so as to place some additional emphasis on the country case studies. The

policy events will consist of sessions in any of the following formats: presentations, roundtable

discussions, press conferences, scientific or general public seminars. The participants will come

from any of TRANSrisk’s stakeholder groups, namely policy-makers, business leaders, academics,

journalists and the general public. In these events, the consortium partners will present key

TRANSrisk results, stylising the content for the two locations so as to place some additional

emphasis on the country case studies of Switzerland and Kenya respectively. Journalists (print,

TV, radio, interest groups) will be invited through established media contact lists at SEI Centres

in Stockholm and Nairobi.

The events in Nairobi will be held near the U.N. complex and World Agro-Forestry Centre. As a

major regional and international hub, events held in Nairobi offer effective dissemination not only

for Kenya but for other key African countries as well. It is envisaged that there will be around 80-

100 participants.

Final Conference / Final Events

Instead of a one full day conference, it has been decided to organise two events one addressed to

policy makers particularly, and one addressed to a more general public.

More particularly, in order to target policy makers we will join forces with another two H2020

funded projects, namely GREEN-WIN and CD-LINKS, and organise a joint policy day consisting of

three sessions each of which will include three 10-minute presentations one from each project.

Moreover, there will be the ability for posters’ display which will allow participants to have an

overview of the projects’ results and be involved with any topics they find interesting. By jointly

organising this policy day we aim to increase the participating policy makers as well as to

simultaneously provide climate change mitigation solutions in three different approaches. The

main focus of the policy day will be the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals,

as well as the new climate change mitigation framework, its opportunities, and the potential risks

and uncertainties that lie in any proposed transition. Since the majority of participants will be

policy makers this will allow presenters to focus on the key outcomes and results of the projects

and omit the scientific methodologies and processes behind them. Thus, policy makers will be

served only with the components that matter to their sector and objectives. The policy day will

be held on 7th November 2018 at the Royal Library Meeting Center in Brussels, Belgium.

Moreover, TRANSrisk will organise a policy lunch with a wider focus. More particularly, the focus

will be on the application of the project’s results and involve invitees in a participatory process

(rather than just making presentations). The event will be held on 6th November 2018 at the Square

Conference Centre in Brussels, Belgium. It will consist of two sessions and a cocktail / lunch break

and will run from mid-morning until mid-afternoon. Each session will include 3-4 presentations

with time for discussion and audience participation. Moreover, there will be room for posters to


be on display in order to trigger the fruitful discussions with participants and increase the audience

interactivity and exchange of knowledge.

5.4 Participation in External Events

Apart from the events organised by the consortium, TRANSrisk is further promoted through

participation in external events regarding climate change, renewable energy, energy efficiency,

and environment. Partners are encouraged and assisted in the presentation of TRANSrisk and its

preliminary results. These kind of activities include the participation in events organised by the

European Commission and to other international conferences and workshops in the respective

fields, so as to update the scientific community, universities, research centres, the European

Commission, green economy experts and other interested groups. All partners participate in the

identification of relevant events in which TRANSrisk can be presented. Participation in external

events is also promoted through the dedicated webpage “Interventions”72.

Decarbonisation project networking workshop, 7 February 2018, Brussels, Belgium73

TRANSrisk participated at the decarbonisation project networking workshop, co-organised by DG

Research and Innovation (RTD) and the Executive Agency for SMEs (EASME), on 7th February 2018,

at the European Commission (DG RTD) CDMA building, in Brussels, Belgium.

The workshop's objective was to stimulate peer-to-peer and science-to-policy discussions on how

to get the most out of EU-funded projects for the benefit of the society and policy-making. More

particularly, interactions among participants were established, while major results in the pipe as

well as areas and solutions that can make our joint commitment to climate research and innovation

more beneficial were identified.

Jenny Lieu (SPRU) presented TRANSrisk and took part in panel discussions, while Haris Doukas

(NTUA) and Oscar van Vliet (ETH) also participated in the workshop. Moreover, a poster co-

designed by UPRC and NTUA with the support of SPRU had been created and presented during the

workshop.

SET-Nav Stakeholder workshop, 14 May 2018, Brussels, Belgium75

TRANSrisk participated in the 4th SET-Nav Stakeholder workshop “Accelerating the transition

towards sustainable transport” which was held on 14th of May 2018, at CEPS premises in Brussels,

Belgium.

In the workshop results from the SET-Nav’s case study on ways to a cleaner and smarter transport

sector were presented. As opposed to other energy sectors, final energy consumption of the

European transport sector has continuously increased over the last decade. Despite having a very

innovative transport industry investing a lot in research and development with policies designed

to foster the shift towards energy efficient and renewable energy carriers, the transport sector is

still strongly based on fossil fuels. With this in mind, the SET-Nav consortium tried to answer the

question: what measures can be in place to accelerate the transition of the transport sector

towards a low-carbon system that can additionally provide further flexibility option with regards

to the energy sector?

Bachner presented the article “The economy-wide effects of deep decarbonization and its

uncertainties - The case of the European iron and steel industry”, Jan Witajewski-Baltvilks (IBS)

presented the article “Green Innovation and Economic Growth in a North-South Model” and Jon

Sampedro (BC3) presented the article “Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs

of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study”.

5.5 Bilateral Meetings

As part of the stakeholder analysis, we have identified decision and policy makers who can help

maximise the impact of TRANSrisk’s work. Some of these stakeholders have been interviewed

during the case studies process in order to give valuable feedback for the implementation of

system maps. For the process a consent form has been created in which there were information

regarding the process of the interviews. Since then a constant dialogue is implemented, in the

context of which regular one-to-one meetings and updates are arranged. Of course, the frequency

of these meetings is the appropriate in order that the dialogue does not become tiding.
