Closing remarks

The FP6 TOCSIN project identifies and assesses climate change mitigation options in China and India and the conditions for a strategic cooperation on RD&D and technology transfer with the EU. The research emphasizes the strategic dimension of RD&D cooperation, and the key role of creating incentives for the participation of developing countries (DCs) in post-2012 GHG emissions reduction strategies. The research is structured around the use of an ensemble of bottom-up, top-down, integrated assessment and game theoretic models (TIAM GEMINI-E3, WITCH etc.) that are coupled via advanced large scale mathematical programming techniques. TOCSIN project partners include Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), REME, Switzerland (Coordinator); Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), Italy; Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), Centre of Game Theory, China; Indian Institute of Management (IIMVA), Public Systems Group, India; KANLO Consultants, France; ORDECSYS, Switzerland; Tsinghua University, 3E Institute, China; and University of Cambridge, Electricity Policy Research Group, Great Britain.
