Project Description
Global IQ

*Funded by the European Commission
- Refine the cost and benefits analysis of the Stern Review. For this purpose, an assessment is made of the impacts and associated costs of global change for the transportation system, water and natural resources (agriculture, forests), health impacts, the energy sector and population dynamics.
- Examine the consequences of such global changes upon competitiveness in the different regions of the world, with particular emphasis upon Europe and international trade issues.
- Build a closer link between climate change oriented economic studies and globalization studies
- Define and share with the partners the conceptual framework to analyse global changes, their impacts and economic and social consequences. The global changes on focus include climate change, resource scarcity, environmental threats and global competition.
- Provide a state-of-the art review of global changes, offering a sound analysis of global trends, drivers, key uncertainties and cross-impacts for different dimensions
- Contribute to the analysis of external costs associated to new global patterns of transport associated to changes in international trade, applying the GRACE tool to compute environmental (pollution) and social (safety) externalities of transport.
