Governments, organisations and businesses face the increasingly complex problem of how to navigate a path to net zero. It’s important that the best tools, data and insights are used effectively to inform decision-making.
One of these tools is economic modelling for scenario analysis. As an independent economics consultancy that sits at the forefront of macroeconomic modelling and scenario analysis, join Cambridge Econometrics for a new webinar introducing you to the benefits of scenario modelling, and how it can be used to inform your biggest policy and strategies.
Our team of experts will take you through real-life examples from around the world of applied economic modelling using our flagship macroeconomic model E3ME; from generating policy-oriented evidence-based insights to inform uncertain futures, to assessing the trade-offs and opportunities of different decarbonisation pathways across regions and sectors.
Agenda
1. Setting the scene: An introduction to scenario modelling in an uncertain world.
2. What good modelling analysis looks like: Asking the right questions and understanding what a model results can and can’t say.
3. Key takeaways: The importance of understanding the role of scenario modelling for effective policymaking.
4. Q&A: An opportunity to put your questions to the experts.
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar is ideal for policymakers, economists and professional organisations focused on directly shaping decarbonisation policy around the world. Whether you’re new to scenario modelling or experienced in a non-economics field, this webinar will deepen your understanding of how modelling supports effective decision making.
