Research requests from Climate Change Committee & British Academy

Climate Change Committee – research request
We received this opportunity from the CCC, looking at integrating economics into the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment.
They have just launched a tender for some research looking into reviewing potential methodologies for analysing different economic aspects of the CCRA. Specifically, they are looking to understand the most effective way of valuing the costs and benefits of Climate Change at a sectoral and economy-wide basis, as well as the most appropriate way of appraising adaptation policy packages and presenting the risk of any estimates produced. The tender can be found here with a closing date of 25 January 2023.
Net Zero Policy Programme – call for research
The British Academy’s policy team is building up its net zero policy programme to use the SHAPE disciplines to address the question: how well do net zero policies address the challenges facing the economy and society in the UK? In doing so we aim to contribute to policy outcomes that deliver on commitments to net zero in the UK. We are inviting proposals from a research team led by a Principal Investigator (PI) to use a cross-temporal, multi-scalar approach to address three specific challenges.
The call details can be found here. The deadline for applications is 8 February 2023.
