The Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum is a new CERA Industry Forum that delivers original research and facilitates discussion among industry leaders and key stakeholders to help understand, integrate and address the strategic climate change and clean energy questions facing the global energy industry.
Building on the foundation of CERA’s 2007 Multi-client Study Crossing the Divide: The Future of Clean Energy , the Forum provides an objective and independent research agenda to assess how new climate change policies, evolving greenhouse gas markets and accelerated investments in clean energy technologies could reshape the global energy landscape. In doing so, CERA recognizes the diverse factors shaping the climate change and clean energy landscape, including energy markets, technology, policy, supply and demand, consumer behavior and demographics.
Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum research is designed to address key questions, including:
-
What are the implications of current energy infrastructure and global “business-as-usual” trends upon greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions?
-
Are there gaps in investment and technology between current trends and the range of GHG policy proposals?
-
How may new policies and low carbon energy investments influence GHG trends?
-
What are the potential risks and new business opportunities associated with climate change policies?

The Climate Change and Clean Energy Forumdelivers benefits to its members through strategic insight derived from extensive research and analysis, as follows:
- Engenders an effective dialogue within a focused global community to promote thought leadership for climate change and clean energy strategies
- Enhances participants’ ability to engage in the development of global and national climate change policies and to assess effective corporate strategies for a carbon constrained world
- Analyzes the cost of abating GHG emissions and the potential for global and national policies to redirect private investment towards clean energy technologies and to alter current emissions trends
- Evaluates the challenges and opportunities for moving clean energy technologies into the center of activity for the global energy industry
- Enables the evaluation of business models and investment opportunities within a carbon-constrained world

Membership in the Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum is on an annual basis, during which CERA delivers two cycles of research, in accordance with an ongoing Research Agenda, each cycle culminating in a Member Workshop. The annual deliverables are as follows:
- Special Reports – Members receive two Special Reports per year on topics that have significant implications for the development of climate change policy deliberations and forming strategic corporate responses.
- Member Workshops – Members receive two seats to the Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum Workshops, held in the spring and autumn, which provide a venue for CERA presentations, topical discussions and informal networking.
- Scenario Updates – Annual updates to a global scenario representing an optimistic but plausible view for how policies, greenhouse gas markets and clean energy investments can influence global greenhouse gas emissions trends (2008 – 2030)
- Access to CERA Researchers – Telephone and email access to CERA experts to address specific questions and input related to Forum research
- Member Meetings – Two annual meetings (spring and fall) via teleconference with members
- Access to Forum Web Site at CERA.com – Repository for Climate Change and Clean Energy Forum research deliverables and other information relating to the Forum
