Modelling in support of community-empowered energy transitions
As coal- and carbon-intensive regions across Europe undergo structural transformation, ensuring that these energy transitions are just and inclusive requires policies that also address cultural, identity, inequality, and perceptual dimensions. This study evaluates whether the current national strategy in Greece risks locking the municipality of Megalopolis- an illustrative case of historical lignite dependence- into continued reliance on natural …
Adaptation to climate change in cities of Mediterranean Europe
Cities across Mediterranean Europe face common climatic threats. They are highly vulnerable and very likely to suffer losses and damages due to heat waves, droughts, wildfires, landslides, and extreme coastal events. To this date, however, there is no systematic understanding of how cities in Mediterranean Europe are preparing to adapt to these impacts. To address this question, we analyse local adaptation plans in 73 cities located in 51 regions…
Adaptation to Climate Change in Cities of the Mediterranean Europe
Existing tools, user needs and required model adjustments for energy demand modelling of a carbon-neutral Europe
To achieve the European Union's target for climate neutrality by 2050 reduced energy demand will make the transition process faster and cheaper. The role of policies that support energy efficiency measures and demand-side management practices will be critical and to ensure that energy demand models are relevant to policymakers and other end-users, understanding how to further improve the models and whether they are tailored to user needs to suppo…
How to improve energy efficiency policies to address energy poverty? Literature and stakeholder insights for private rented housing in Europe
Why energy models should integrate social and environmental factors
Energy models are used to inform and support decisions within the transition to climate neutrality. In recent years, such models have been criticised for being overly techno-centred and ignoring environmental and social factors of the energy transition. Here, we explore and illustrate the impact of ignoring such factors by comparing model results to model user needs and real-world observations. We firstly identify concrete user needs for better r…
Eliciting knowledge from stakeholders to identify critical issues of the transition to climate neutrality in Greece, the Nordic Region, and the European Union
There are considerable differences in the pace and underlying motivations of the energy transition in the different geographical contexts across Europe. The European Union's commitment to climate neutrality by 2050 requires a better understanding of the energy transition in different contexts and scales to improve cooperation of involved actors. In this article, we identify critical issues and challenges of the European energy transition as perce…

Model-based policymaking or policy-based modelling? How energy models and energy policy interact
As energy models become more and more powerful, they are increasingly used to support energy policymaking. Although modelling has been used for policy advice for many years, there is little knowledge about how computer-based models actually influence policymaking, and to what extent policymakers influence the modelling process. Here, we empirically investigate (i) whether, how and when models influence the policymaking process, and (ii) whether, …
Barriers to and consequences of a solar-based energy transition in Greece
In Greece, the renewable energy potential and a low-quality building stock constitute the background of a possible low-carbon energy transition. This transition, however, faces significant uncertainties, ranging from long-term effects of the ongoing economic recession and technological lock-ins, to the stability of the regulatory framework and issues of public acceptance. Such uncertainties may eventually give rise to significant barriers to, as …
