  • The importance of renewable energy as a response to climate change is universally acknowledged. However, its successful implementation requires public approval and cooperation. This study aims to identify the level of renewable energy acceptance in Korea by estimating Korean consumers’ additional willingness to pay (WTP) using the contingent valuation (CV) method, which is the most widely used to analyze consumer preferences. The estimation results indicate that Korean consumers are willing to pay an additional USD 3.21 per month for electricity generated with renewable energy. However, WTP in Korea is low relative to other advanced nations, indicating that these values could be influenced through policies aimed at improving knowledge and acceptance of renewable energy sources among Korean consumers.

    • The Renewable Energy Roadmap: Eastern Partnership outlines a practical roadmap for contributing to the efforts of the Paris Agreement and the 1.5 ° C goal while reinforcing energy security. Developed in collaboration with the European Commission and the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries, the report explores how renewables and energy efficiency measures can accelerate emissions reductions, enhance energy affordability, and reduce energy needs. With renewable power capacity projected to nearly double by 2030 and increase sixfold by 2050 when compared to 2021 levels, the report emphasises the urgency of fast-tracking clean energy deployment and modernising infrastructure. The report also highlights key enablers of the transition: integrated energy planning, grid expansion, electrification, and a deepening of market integration. It stresses the need for co-ordinated implementation, stronger governance, and agile policy frameworks to foster the deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures. Trade and diversified supply chains are also recognised as crucial tools for ensuring a fair and cost-effective energy transition in the EaP countries. Achieving a climate compatible pathway will require decisive action. This includes scaling up investments in renewables, storage, and smart grids; accelerating fossil fuel phase-down; and aligning industrial strategy with climate and energy goals.

    • PREDICTING THE EVOLUTION OF COVID-19 IN PORTUGAL USING AN ADAPTED SIR MODEL PREVIOUSLY USED IN SOUTH KOREA FOR THE MERS OUTBREAK Pedro Teles doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.18.20038612 Abstract Since original reports in Wuhan, China, the new coronavirus covid-19 has spread very quickly worldwide, leading the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a state of pandemic. Moreover, as of the 13th of March 2020, the WHO has announced that the European continent is now the main centre of the pandemic. Many European governments have already implemented harsh measures to attempt to contain the spread of the virus. In Portugal, there are, as of the 18th of March 2020, 642 confirmed cases. In this study, I applied an adapted SIR model previously used in South Korea to model the MERS outbrake, which is also caused by a coronavirus, to estimate the evolution of the curve of active cases in the case of the Portuguese situation. *注,本文为预印本论文手稿,是未经同行评审的初步报告,其观点仅供科研同行交流,并不是结论性内容,请使用者谨慎使用.
