About the project
The Climate Team of the Association for International Affairs (AMO) is a thematic grouping of experts dealing with different aspects of climate policies starting from international and EU negotiations, including climate security, all the way to the low-carbon transition, its financing and the related social implications.
The scientific consensus concerning the impact of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions on the state of the global climate, and the goals of the Paris Agreement ratified by almost the entire international community provide a value basis for our efforts.
We are united in our comprehension of the existential character of the climate crisis and in the conviction that key decisions relating to the shape and form of the necessary transition must be made on the basis of quality evidence-based inputs.
Our vision is a just society heading towards a stabilized climate and a sustainable future. We strive for Czechia which approaches climate challenges actively and systematically, well aware of its international obligations and historical responsibility.

People Behind the Policy: Social Impacts of EU ETS2 in Bulgaria, Czechia, and Poland
The three EU member states examined in this Oeko-Institut study are Bulgaria, Czechia, and Poland. The aim of this study is to analyse what groups are likely to be most affected by the ETS2 in these countries, examine the current draft SCPs, and identify policy gaps.
Ten measures for National Social Climate Plans
This policy brief proposes ten policies for inclusion in the National Social Climate Plans (NSCPs) to accompany carbon pricing in heating and transport (ETS2). NSCPs can serve as blueprints for social measures in our transition away from fossil fuels.
Material Dependencies: Competitiveness, Security and Socio-Environmental Issues of Critical Raw Materials
