The Centre for Research on Energy and Climate Change (CRECC) is a research centre dedicated to advancing rigorous, policy-relevant knowledge on the interconnected challenges of climate change, energy transition, and geopolitical transformation. Supported by Paris School of Business, CRECC brings together academic expertise, applied research, and international perspectives to better understand how societies, economies, and institutions can navigate a rapidly changing global environment.

Our work is guided by three principles: Understand, Innovate, Transform. We seek to understand the complex links between climate risk, energy security, economic development, and public policy; to innovate through evidence-based research and practical solutions; and to support transformation toward more sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon futures.

CRECC focuses on key issues including renewable energy, energy efficiency, climate policy, energy sovereignty, sustainable finance, green innovation, carbon reduction strategies, and the social and economic impacts of the energy transition. By combining interdisciplinary research with real-world engagement, the centre aims to generate insights that are useful for policymakers, businesses, international organisations, and civil society.

In an increasingly uncertain geopolitical context, CRECC provides a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. Through research projects, publications, conferences, partnerships, and educational initiatives, the centre contributes to informed decision-making and supports the development of practical responses to today’s climate and energy challenges.

At its core, CRECC is committed to helping build a more sustainable, secure, and resilient future — locally, regionally, and globally.
