Overview

RE-CONNECT runs until the end of 2027, and provides technical assistance and capacity building to a set of target countries on the themes of modelling and transparency (including workshops, bilateral events, direct support, and an “Expert Matching Facility”) as well as supporting international initiatives and events, and a variety of knowledge dissemination activities (webinars, reports, and newsletters).

May’s RE-CONNECT modelling workshop series focuses on the role of national policies and commitments, notably Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS) to bridge implementation and ambition gaps. The two interactive workshops will focus on deepening the understanding of modelling techniques – selecting and implementing national and international climate policies and targets to accelerate transition to climate neutrality.

The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to reflect the 'Fit for 55' outcomes in EU climate reporting templates and align them with the revised ETS Directive, Effort sharing Regulation (ESR) and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation.

The Commission would like to hear your views on this initiative to update the rules for accreditation of verifiers used in verifying reports within the context of the revised Emissions Trading System (ETS) Directive.

Desai, M., et al. (2026). Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Analysis for the United States: 1990–2024. Center for Global Sustainability, University of Maryland, College Park.Science shows that the planet is warming due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Transparent reporting mechanisms for GHG emissions are crucial to understanding and tracking emission trends to inform effective policy strategies for current and future mitigation.

Check out the UNFCCC Events Calendar, it is a central, publicly accessible tracker of climate‑related meetings, workshops, and conferences convened or recognised under the UNFCCC process. It allows users to browse and filter events by theme, region, type, and timing, covering both mandated UNFCCC meetings and relevant external events linked to international climate action.

This study brings together integrated assessment models and energy system models under a common framework to develop EU policy scenarios: a Current Trends scenario reflecting existing policies and trends and a Climate Neutrality scenario aligned with the EU's emission reduction target.

The authors use an ensemble of global integrated assessment models to assess CO2 emissions reduction potentials in buildings and transport, accounting for system interactions. They focus on three intervention strategies with distinct emphases: reducing or changing activity, improving technological efficiency and electrifying energy end use.

Join RE-CONNECT for the next sector-specific workshop exploring industrial sector pathways to advance industry sector representation in greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and the application of modelling tools. The workshop will offer both theoretical insights and practical applications of industry sector analysis.This workshop will be delivered twice to accommodate different time zones. The two options are:

Tuesday 10 February / Wednesday 11 February

Date: Wednesday 17 December 2025 Time: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm (AEDT) Location: CCRC seminar room & online (Hybrid)
