To date, we lack detailed data and research on how the global exchange of goods affects greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity and natural resources. Moreover, the models applied to develop trade policies are often based on conventional theories, overlooking the evolution of new technologies and the complex interrelations in the supply chains of key economic sectors, such as industry. There is also a lack of comprehensive empirical knowledge about the relationship between trade and climate change, as well as a full understanding of the role of developing countries in global trade.

The ENTICE consortium was established to address these challenges by working on modern tools to advance fair and sustainable trade policies in line with climate objectives.

The initiative is coordinated by the Greek consulting company E3-MODELLING AE, with several research institutions from across Europe and a university from the United States involved in its implementation (see all partners).

Within the ENTICE project, the Reform Institute is responsible for the qualitative analysis of the links between trade, climate and industrial policy, supporting the definition of key research questions for quantitative modelling. The Institute's experts are also preparing a case study on the Polish public’s perception of the trade impact on the environment and the economy.

The work began in January 2025 and will last until the end of 2028.
